Glasgow is one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. Our inventions, interventions and innovations have helped to shape the social, cultural and economic prosperity of our city, our country and civilisation itself. We have been changing the world since 1451. Today, as well as being one of the best universities in the world, we are one of the best universities for the world: Glasgow is ranked in the world’s top 20 universities for our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development goals.
