Join a dynamic research community.

Research at Glasgow Caledonian is at the heart of our mission to promote the common good. The University has a long tradition of conducting research that is economically and socially relevant, applying new knowledge to problems of global significance in areas such as health, the environment and economic development.

Fundamental to our research is our belief in the importance of internationally-recognised excellence as the basis both for our teaching and for partnerships with end-users in the UK and internationally. Glasgow Caledonian is proud therefore that, in the RAE 2008, more than three quarters of the research we submitted was judged to be of international quality.
