Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU)

There are lots of student events going on, which are well advertised to students. The course is difficult but rewarding. All tutors are extremely helpful, and there is nothing I would change in relation to my course.

Very nice uni, I love the campus and everyone is super friendly

The course that I am currently studying is amazing. I cannot be happier with my experience at my university so far.

The facilities are great, lots of nightlife. Teaching facilities are top notch. Not many practical suites but very good at accommodating to students needs and will find time for practicing hands on practical skills. Library space is very inclusive and a variety of areas to study to suit your needs.

I started GCU in 2022 as a direct entry student from collage, GCU gave me the opportunity to start straight at third year, and have provided excellent support ever since!!

My experience with glasgow Caledonian university (GCU) has been the best! I have nothing but positive memories. I have had great support from the start. GCU has helped me to continue my education after leaving secondary school and I have developed my learning greatly.

Loved this course so much. It was a great mix of practical/theory. Super lovely lecturers and made so many friends. Anyone with a love for sewing and business would enjoy this course.

I loved at home and commuted into university and still made friends that I am still friends with 6 years later.

Good luck!

Freshers week was pretty non existent this year due to covid. Last years was really good, free fun fair rides and loads discounts for clubs, bars and restaurants. A good way to get us settled into new uni life. I personally don't stay in the uni's accomodation but I know a couple of people who do. I've not heard any complaints apart from the pricing. I don't actually study in the main uni I study in GDH, but the library is always spotless with loads of choices for books etc to borrow. Really good LDC resources if you find yourself needing some extra help with essay writing etc. I love my course, I attempted for 3/4 years to get in before I eventually did due to it being reallt competitive as there are only 13/14 slots every year. The lectures are quite heavy in first year to prepare you for osces and sat's. City life is good, nice buzz. It's a nice change of scenery to living in a more rural area.

as i am part time i didn't get the full experience due to only being in 1 day a week. i do not stay in uni accommodation however have heard it is nice facilities are very good. Library is accessible all the time and good space. A lot of seating areas. Classrooms are standard but do the job I enjoyed the course as it allowed me to complete work outside of uni and go out into the industry in order to complete work very good and very busy. good nights out

I never seen much construction related things. Just general activities etc. Cali court is known to be good with friends staff. Not sure about other accommodations. Library was always very useful. Student union isn't the best I've seen. Good lecturers make a big difference. Lecturers who act like they don't want to be there make you feel the same. Glasgow is always good for city life with so much to do around. A lot of good food places etc.
