World-changing ideas begin with world-changing people, and we believe that ideas flow more freely when our colleagues feel valued and supported. We want to work together to build a community with a culture of being values-led with people at its centre, and play our part as global citizens engaged in a shared endeavour to make tomorrow better. 

We are a place that inspires ambitious people to succeed. A place where inquiring minds can develop their ideas. A place where talented people are given the space to realise their dreams.

Most importantly, we are open to the world. Our doors are open to the brightest minds, regardless of background. We are open to collaboration and the exchange of knowledge with other universities, government and business. 

To continue to be a world-class and progressive university, we are dedicated to bringing inspiring people together to change the world.‌

Sustainability at Glasgow

We know that there is a carbon cost implication in our aspirations to be a world-changing University. However, we cannot achieve our goals at the expense of the environment; combatting climate emergency must be an integral part of our work at every level.

New Ways of Working

Embedding new and innovative ways of working is instrumental to making our University a truly exceptional place to work. We want to bring the benefits of new ways of working to all: to empower colleagues, increase diversity and inclusivity, enable new technologies, and ensure a more equitable working environment.
