About the University of Glasgow and Scholarship
The University of Glasgow is a public research institution located in Glasgow, Scotland (abbreviated as Glas. in post-nominals; Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Ghlaschu). As one of Scotland’s four historic universities, it is the fourth-oldest institution in the English-speaking world. By papal edict in 1451 [O.S. 1450], it was created. Along with the universities of St. Andrews, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, the organization took part in the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century. Glasgow is the second-largest university in the UK and the largest institution in Scotland in terms of total enrolment, with over 19,500 postgraduate students.
The initial needs of pupils from wealthy families were supplied by Glasgow, much like pre-modern schools. It made a name for itself in the 19th century, nevertheless, by catering to the demands of students from the burgeoning urban and commercial middle class. All of these students benefited from Glasgow University’s preparation for jobs in law, medicine, government, education, and religion. A smaller but growing number of persons received training for careers in engineering and science.
Post-graduate taught Excellence Scholarships are available to qualified candidates from the University of Glasgow School of Geography and Earth Sciences. The recipients of this prize must be post-graduate taught students from outside the United States who want to enroll in a research program at the university.
The School seeks to enroll academically gifted students in postgraduate taught programs and to give them a rigorous, research- and industry-based education. Candidates having a 1st class honors degree with a 70% or above in the UK are eligible for excellence scholarships.
