The University is located in a modern purpose built campus in the centre of the city of Glasgow. We have recently invested over £45 million in the development of new facilities including a new Health Faculty building, an extension to the library and state of the art leisure facilities; as well as The Saltire Centre, a £20m state of the art innovative learning centre. Together this means that we are able to offer some of the most modern facilities available to students.
Glasgow Caledonian University is proud of its reputation for designing programmes that allow people from all over the world to take full part in the economic development of their countries.
