Welcome to The Glasgow School of Art, internationally recognised as one of Europe's foremost university-level institutions for creative education and research.

We are a small, specialist and highly focused international creative community undertaking research at the highest levels. In the UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise 2008, the GSA was ranked as the second largest art and design research community in the UK, with 25% of our research considered to be world leading and a further 25% internationally recognised.

As a prospective student, research partner, supporter or visitor, you will engage with these world-leading academics and find the GSA an immensely stimulating place - a creative hothouse where new ideas are always encouraged and developed through learning, teaching and research which is studio based, face to face, professionally relevant and socially engaged.

From the heritage of alumnus Charles Rennie Mackintosh - artist, architect and designer - to today's global students community, the impact of the GSA and its graduates to the social, cultural and economic life of Glasgow, Scotland and beyond is evident.

Degrees at The Glasgow School of Art are awarded by The University of Glasgow, one of the world's top 100 universities with an international reputation for its reseach and teaching.
