Students at the Reid, Glasgow School of Art

Glasgow's creative innovation is nurtured in the centre of the city . Glasgow School of Art (GSA), Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) the University of Glasgow Dental School all have their campuses here.

Community learning experiences extend beyond these world-class educational establishments. Garnethill Multicultural Centre, Adelaide Place and the Mitchell Library all offer classes, talks and events to expand your knowledge.

Choosing Glasgow for your degree? As well as hosting internationally renowned places of learning, the District is the home of student nightlife. DJs and bands at The Vic, dancing at The Garage and drinks at Firewater are all on the doorstep.

You can still sign up for new learning experiences without committing to a four-year programme. If you are visiting Glasgow for longer, sign up for a short course in acting, silversmithing or pottery.

Discover new talent through exhibitions and performances at GSA and RCS. Every June, the surrounding streets come alive with the GSA Degree shows.
