Glasgow Caledonian University in generalNewest Review: ... food is great the salad bar is unbeatable and you can choose from sandwiches, hot meals, soup and pretty much anything else you might expect to find. Prices are reasonable and you could expect to pay around £2.60 for a hot meal and a drink. There are also Costa outlets around the campus including within the Saltire Centre which sell a selection of hot paninis, soup and of course tea, coffee, sandwiches and cakes! All in all its the only University I have ever been to, and as a mature student it was daunting enough to go to Uni. GCU have made my experience incredibly straightforward and rewarding.... more |

Glasgow Caledonian University is large city centre campus offering a range of courses. I recently completed a 3 year midwifery degree here. The university welcomes all students and offers a great environment for learning. The facilities are excellent, and the pride of the university is the state of the art library stretching over 6 floors. The campus is wheelchair friendly and has disabled access to all areas. There are several services including supported learning available to all students - supported learning is not only for those who have additional needs but can be accessed for anything e.g. help with referencing or sourcing the right types of ...

Glasgow Caledonian University is almost farcical. I am a 3rd year law student and my experience at this 'university' has been nothing short of disappointing. Poor students, poor lecturers and poor support. Quality of learning is highly questionable and the overall attitude around the campus is disheartening.
It isn't surprising many rejects end up at this place, its simply a social place where anyone can end up with an academic qualification.
My advice, stick to traditional universities.

Glasgow Caledonian University is in a great location in the city centre and is just a 2 two minute walk away from Buchanan street. Ive attended the uni for three years and have enjoyed it so far. The lecturers are very friendly and approachable and the library, new Saltire centre, and ARC sports facilities are second to none in Scotland. Other students at the uni are generally nice enough and the place as a whole has a positive,friendly atmosphere. Friends of mine who have graduated from the uni have had no problems at all finding employement and now earn good money in jobs they enjoy doing. The only negative of going to this ...

Glasgow Caledonian University is located in a perfect spot right in Glasgow City Centre. It is situated across the road from Buchanan Bus Station, with Queen St Train Station just practically on the next street down. The Main, and now only Cinema in Glasgow city centre, is on a corner facing the bus station, with Suchiehall street and all its shops, next to it on the way down to the train station. Everything is within a 5 minute walk of each other, so it is situated perfectly. The actual University is very modern. It has Millions of pounds ploughed into it. This resulted in a new library, sports centre, accomodation and another building ... Read the complete review
