Die Universität Glasgow gehört zur Russell-Gruppe der großen britischen, in der Forschung führenden Universitäten.
Inhaltsverzeichnis
Allgemeines
Sie wurde 1451, auf Vorschlag von König Jakob II hin, durch Papst Nikolaus V. gegründet. Sie ist damit die zweitälteste Universität Schottlands (und viertälteste Großbritanniens) nach der renommierten Universität St Andrews, die nur rund 40 Jahre älter ist. Papst Nikolaus V. erteilte damals dem Glasgower Bischof William Turnbull die Genehmigung, eine Universität an seiner Kathedrale einzurichten.
Berühmte Absolventen der University of Glasgow sind unter anderem James Watt (Mathematiker und Ingenieur), William Thomson (Physiker; besser bekannt als Lord Kelvin), Adam Smith (Ökonom und Philosoph), John Buchan, 1. Baron Tweedsmuir (Journalist, Autor, Jurist, Politiker und Generalgouverneur von Kanada) und John Knox (Reformatorischer Theologe und Reformator Schottlands). Des Weiteren haben folgende sechs Nobelpreisträger an der University of Glasgow studiert, gelehrt oder geforscht:
- Sir William Ramsay
- Frederick Soddy
- John Boyd Orr
- Sir Alexander Robert Todd
- Sir Derek H. R. Barton
- Sir James Whyte Black
Im März 2010 hatte die Universität ca. 22.000 Studenten und 6.300 Beschäftigte. Mehr als 4.000 der Studenten sind postgraduate students und ca. 2.700 sind Studenten von außerhalb Großbritanniens (5 % aus Europa und 9 % außerhalb Europas).
Verwaltung
Rektor
Der Rektor (engl. offizieller Titel „Lord Rector“, meist verkürzt zu „Rector“) der Universität Glasgow wird alle drei Jahre von den Studenten gewählt. Die Position wurde durch den schottischen „Universities Act“ von 1889 für die damals bestehenden schottischen Universitäten festgeschrieben. Aufgabe des Rektors ist es, die Belange der Studenten zu vertreten.
