Applying on Common App
We welcome applications from International applicants through the Common Application (Common App) system. On our a dedicated portal, Gateway to Glasgow, applicants may review their application, see details of their offer, and provide documents we have requested for review.
Please note that we cannot accept applications through Common App for Home or RUK fee status applicants. More information about fee status can be foundin our Fee status policy.
It is important that you do not use Common App to submit your application with us if you already have a live UCAS application, even where your UCAS choices are with other UK institutions. This can cause delays in bringing your application into our student records system, issuing your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS), setting up access to our accommodations portal, and your ability to register and enrol in a timely manner.
How do I apply on Common App?
To apply for us via Common App, please complete your First-Year application through the Common App system and add your course choice to your completed application.

Once you submit your application it will be automatically imported into our Gateway to Glasgow portal, a dedicated system for Common App applicants. You will receive an email with login details once your application has successful made it into the system.
