University Profile

We are the Scottish University of the Year 2021 (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021), recognised for our teaching excellence, student-centred approach and are consistently named as one of the top UK universities for graduate employability.

As the top modern university in Scotland and the UK* (National Student Survey 2021), our applied learning, strong industry links, state-of-the-art facilities and demand driven courses will ensure you have a fantastic experience at university, while gaining the knowledge and skills required for a successful career.

All of our courses will provide you with practical, hands-on learning and teaching experiences and we have recently been ranked as the Top modern university in Scotland for course satisfaction (Guardian University Guide 2022).

We continually engage and build upon our industry links to ensure our courses are demand driven and tailored to meet the current and future needs of employers. Many of our courses will offer you the opportunity to undertake a period of work experience or placement, collaborate with businesses on live projects and attend industry guest lectures and masterclasses, providing you the chance to make connections and network with potential future employers.

We’ve invested £120 million in the development of our campus including modern, purpose-built facilities, industry standard equipment and dedicated study spaces. You will benefit from these exceptional facilities by undertaking industry-level projects and study in an environment that encourages independence and innovation.
