格拉斯哥大学位于英国苏格兰格拉斯哥,创立于1451年,是苏格兰历史第二悠久、全英国校龄四的一所久负盛名的公立大学。在近六个世纪的发展过程中,格拉斯哥大学培养出许多知名人物,这其中不仅包括“经济学之父”亚当·斯密,首先提出热力学温标概念的开尔文,蒸汽机的改良者詹姆斯·瓦特,电磁学理论的建立者麦克斯韦,以及外科手术消毒技术创立者约瑟夫·李斯特等,更培养出四名现代高等教育大学的创始人。
格拉斯哥大学同时也是国际大学组织Universitas 21的缔造者之一,以及英国大学集团罗素集团(Russell Group)的缔约成员。
格拉斯哥大学最近被英国《星期日泰晤士报》(The Sunday Times)评选为2006/2007年苏格兰年度大学。
Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. Today we are a broad-based, research intensive institution with a global reach。
We are a member of the prestigious Russell Group of leading UK research universities, and we’re striving to change the world with our expertise. Our annual research contract income totals more than £116m, which puts us in the UK’s top 10 earners for research. It also means that we can make important discoveries, whether that’s finding a way to detect malaria in minutes, or contributing to the biggest nuclear physics experiment in the world: the Large Hadron Collider。
Our research-led approach is one of the reasons why a degree from the University of Glasgow is so prized, but our students also benefit from opportunities to study abroad, improve their employability, take part in work placements and explore a wide range of social activities. Every year, we welcome scholars from more than 100 countries around the world, and 90% of our final year students report satisfaction with their experiences. They graduate equipped with the skills they need to compete in a global workplace, and with friendships and networks that last a lifetime。
