Research
At Glasgow Caledonian University, we are building on Scotland's proud history of innovation, intellectual curiosity and creativity to develop leading areas of international excellence in applied research that deliver practical benefits to society. We believe good quality teaching and research are indivisible - the mark of a great modern university that matches access with excellence and contributes both to the sector's diversity and to the nation's economic and social health and wellbeing. We have a long tradition of conducting research that is economically and socially relevant - applying new knowledge to problems of global significance in areas such as health, the environment and economic development. The results of RAE 2008 fully confirmed Glasgow Caledonian University's international profile in research. Our submission in Allied Health Professions places us overall in the top ten universities in the UK. Our submission in the Built and Natural Environment places us in the top twenty universities in the UK and, in research on sustainable urban environments and building design as well as the field of waste management and recycling, as the leading university in Scotland.
