Location

The University has three main campuses. Gilmorehill, the main campus with its distinctive outline silhouetted on the city's skyline, is in the cosmopolitan West End of Glasgow, just three miles away from the vibrant city centre and connected by subway and frequent buses. The second campus, Garscube, houses the Vet School and outdoor sports facilities and is just four miles further out of the city. The University's Dumfries campus is located on the outskirts of Dumfries, in South West Scotland.

Most of the University's departments are to be found on the Gilmorehill campus, centred on Sir George Gilbert Scott's main building and home to over 100 listed buildings reflecting a vast range of styles.

The circular Reading Room is a listed building from the 1930s while the Library, Boyd Orr and Adam Smith Buildings reflect post-war fashions in public building design.

The significant investment in infrastructure and buildings over recent years has resulted in a number of state-of-the-art buildings such as the Wolfson Medical School Building opened in 2003, where students and staff benefit from the latest in technology and innovation.
