I’m delighted to be leading the University of Glasgow as it celebrates its 575th anniversary year.

This landmark year, in which we also launch our 10-year strategy, enables us to reflect on centuries of impact, while inspiring the world-changers of tomorrow.

Established in 1451 for the people of our city, we have evolved from being the university for Glasgow, to the university for the world. Our global community of students, colleagues, alumni and partners stretches across continents and through centuries, united by a shared commitment and vision of learning, discovery and world-changing impact.

We invite you to join us in marking this remarkable anniversary year. This milestone is not just about our past, it’s about the opportunities ahead and the future impact we can make together.
 
Professor Andy Schofield
University Principal and Vice Chancellor
