Getting to Glasgow<br />
Transport within Glasgow<br />
The University of Glasgow is the fourth<br />
oldest university in the English-speaking<br />
world. Founded in 1451, it has spent the<br />
last half millennium earning an international<br />
reputation for research innovation, making<br />
connections with experts in global business,<br />
and inspiring thinkers from eminent scientist<br />
Lord Kelvin to the father of economics Adam<br />
Smith. Building on such vast experience, it’s<br />
no surprise that Glasgow is in the top 1% of<br />
the world’s universities today, according to the<br />
Times Higher Education Supplement World<br />
Rankings.<br />
Glasgow’s research strengths are diverse and growing.<br />
In 2006-7, research awards reached £103m placing the<br />
institution in the top ten in the UK, and reinforcing its<br />
position as a member of the Russell Group of 20 major<br />
research universities. With a 2,500-strong research staff<br />
committed to translating the discoveries they make<br />
into real benefits for industry, Glasgow assisted more<br />
than 270 companies with commercial research, filed 36<br />
new patents and granted 20 new intellectual property<br />
licences last year alone.<br />
By air: Glasgow International Airport<br />
(tel: +44 (0)870 0400008, www.glasgowairport.com) is<br />
situated approximately ten miles west of the University.<br />
A taxi from the airport to the University costs roughly £20.<br />
An airport bus goes to Buchanan Bus Station which is<br />
situated in the centre of the city. A taxi journey from there<br />
to the University will cost roughly £7.<br />
Glasgow Prestwick International Airport<br />
(tel: +44 (0) 1292 511000, www.gpia.co.uk). The airport is<br />
situated 22 miles south-west of the University. There is a<br />
railway station at the airport and an airport bus service<br />
to the city centre. Journey time takes around 45 minutes.<br />
By rail: Two train stations in the city centre – Queen Street<br />
and Central (served by Buchanan St and St Enoch<br />
underground stations respectively) – link to all major cities<br />
in the UK. There are frequent services to Edinburgh (50<br />
minutes) and London (five hours).<br />
By coach: Buchanan Bus Station in the city centre<br />
(served by Buchanan St underground station) is the main<br />
terminus for long-distance coaches.<br />
By road:<br />
Motorway links<br />
provide quick<br />
access to major<br />

Every year these same academics help the institution<br />
to provide an education that inspires respect from<br />
employers and satisfaction from students. The University<br />
of Glasgow has more than 15,000 undergraduates,<br />
4,900 postgraduates and 3,500 adult learners from 120<br />
countries around the globe.<br />
The University also has an important role to play as an<br />
employer of more than 6,000 staff and a unique cultural<br />
centre that attracts more than 150,000 visitors a year.<br />
These are just a few of the reasons why Glasgow<br />
is sure the next 550 years will be even better.<br />

on to the M73,<br />
joining the M8 at<br />
the Old Monkland<br />
junction. M8 exits<br />
for the University<br />
1 mile = 1.6 kilometres<br />
are J18 if travelling from the south, Edinburgh and the<br />
north and J19 if coming from Glasgow Airport and the<br />
west. Other main routes serving the University include<br />
Great Western Road (A82, north of campus), Clydeside<br />
Expressway (A814, south) and Byres Road (B808, west).<br />
Car parking on the University campus and surrounding<br />
area is extremely difficult.<br />
By boat: Ferries link Larne (near Belfast) in Northern Ireland<br />
to Cairnryan, approximately 90 minutes south of Glasgow.<br />

Buses<br />
Route 44 runs through the main campus from the city<br />
centre. Numerous other routes serve Dumbarton Road,<br />
Great Western Road and Byres Road. A seasonal tourist<br />
bus stops at the University.<br />
Underground<br />
The main station for the University is Hillhead. Kelvinhall<br />
and Kelvinbridge stations are more convenient for some<br />
locations (see <strong>map</strong> of Glasgow).<br />
Local trains<br />
The nearest suburban rail station is Partick, about one mile<br />
to the west of the University. It has an interchange with the<br />
underground and with bus services on Dumbarton Road.<br />
Taxis<br />
Black taxi cabs can be picked up at most times in the<br />
University area and the city centre.<br />
Cycle racks<br />
Cycle racks are provided on campus at A21, B3, B4, E1<br />
and E2 (see Main campus <strong>map</strong> overleaf).
