What makes us different

Founded in 1881, with the objective to provide equal opportunity education, regardless of sex or religion, we were the first university in the UK to educate men and women side by side. Today, we are still a university with social purpose, building on our long-standing values. We are not afraid to act purposively to make a real difference in the world and work together as a community to deliver positive change. 

As one of the UK's top universities and named Scottish University of the Year (Daily Mail University Guide 2025), we are globally renowned for our expertise across a wide range of disciplines, including science, medicine, engineering, and the arts. We have pioneered innovations as diverse as keyhole surgery and flat screen technology.
