Institution overview

City of Glasgow College is a public further and higher education college in Glasgow, Scotland. It was formed in 2010 through the merger of Central College Glasgow, Glasgow Metropolitan College and Glasgow College of Nautical Studies. Its two principal locations are City Campus and Riverside Campus. The college provides vocational and professional education across business, computing, engineering, maritime studies, hospitality, design, media, the arts and other subjects. Its qualifications include Higher National Certificates and Higher National Diplomas, alongside other course-specific awards. Full-time, part-time, evening and distance learning options serve students with different educational and employment circumstances. Practical facilities support training in occupational settings, including maritime simulation, professional kitchens and media production. Riverside Campus continues the institution's nautical education role, while City Campus accommodates a broad range of programmes. Some courses provide progression to degree-level study or involve university partnerships; the awarding arrangements must be checked for the individual qualification. The central course search identifies subject, level and delivery information. Student support, library services and international guidance help applicants and enrolled learners navigate their chosen educational route.
