About the University

Glasgow Caledonian University, a vibrant and values-led institution in Scotland, is seeking an exceptional leader to spearhead its research and knowledge exchange efforts. With a strong commitment to quality education and research that serves the community, our university has forged robust partnerships with employers to empower students' career aspirations.

As a leading modern university in the UK, we have earned top rankings, including the Mail guide's 2025 recognition and a spot among the top 50 highly-regarded universities in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in EcoCampus Platinum accreditation, a testament to our sustainable practices.

We boast a unique blend of professionally accredited courses and connections with over 300 industry partners, resulting in a remarkable 83% of our undergraduate graduates securing highly skilled occupations. Moreover, 91% of our students find employment or pursue further studies within fifteen months of graduating (HESA 2023). We are Scotland's premier provider of Graduate Apprenticeships and foster global partnerships, supporting more than 22,000 students from nearly 120 countries.

Our research focuses on three critical areas: healthy lives, inclusive societies, and sustainable environments. In the last REF, 72% of our research was deemed world-leading or internationally excellent (REF2021), an achievement unmatched by any other Scottish modern university. Our health research stands out for outstanding impact, rivaling King's College London's achievements (REF2021). We aim to significantly expand our research over the next six years.
