We have been welcoming students from Nigeria since 1913 when our first Nigerian student joined the University to study Medicine. We currently have around 100 Nigerians studying at Glasgow at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in a wide range of subject areas.
One of our most notable alumnus is Oladele Adebayo Ajose, who joined the University to study medicine in 1927. Ajose later graduated with an MB ChB in 1932, taking the Diploma in Public Health in 1935 and proceeding to an MD in 1939. He was the founder of the British Red Cross Society in Nigeria (late the Nigerian Red Cross Society) and founded the Infectious Disease Hospital in Lagos. In later life he became Vice Chancellor of Ife University (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1961 and retired from there in 1966.
