Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to the
University of Glasgow Story. Through this website, the University pays tribute to the talented men and women who have made a contribution to the development of the University
over the past six centuries.
The University's reputation and standing as one of the world's leading universities is built upon the work of those men and women who have studied, taught and undertaken pioneering research here. It is also built on the network of alumni, friends and partners who support the University's activities in all sorts of crucial ways. In this website, we tell their story and the part they have played in the University's 550 years of innovation and excellence. I hope you will find this site interesting and informative and that through its pages you will have the opportunity to relive the remarkable Glasgow Story which continues to this day.
