Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) has been ranked in the world's top 150 by the Times Higher Education’s 200 under 50 Rankings 2017.
In the listing of the best universities in the world under the age of 50, GCU features with a position of ‘101 – 150’. This is the first time GCU has appeared in these rankings.
Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies CBE FRSE said: “I am absolutely delighted that our University has achieved this ranking. The fact that GCU has been included for the first time highlights the great strides that we have taken forward as an institution, particularly in our research and international activity.
“Our commitment to our social mission is about more than league tables, but this ranking underlines that, as the University for the Common Good, we can truly deliver academic excellence, as well as wider social benefit.
“Our staff should take great pride in all of the hard work that they have undertaken to achieve this ranking.”
The Universities of Dundee and Stirling and the West of Scotland are the only other Scottish institutions to feature in the rankings.
The performance indicators are grouped into five areas, spanning teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry income.
The THE under 50 rankings has been published since 2012 when Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea, was ranked first. In that year only 100 universities, including 20 UK universities, were included in the rankings.
The 2017 ranking uses the same performance indicators as the flagship THE World University Rankings.

Glasgow, with its endless charm and extensive list of attractions, is one of those places you just can’t get out of your mind. It never fails to make an impression. A unique hub of culture, banter and variety, here are some top tips for visiting Scotland’s largest city.
Salt and sauce. What a personal thing. When it comes to enjoying a chippy, it really can make or break a bite. If you remember one tip when visiting Glasgow, it should be never to ask for salt and sauce when in a chippy or fish and chip shop. Just don’t. A grueling age-old debate — which only heightens the facetious rivalry between Edinburgh and Glasgow — the two cities just can’t let it go. Folk from Edinburgh favour salt and their own signature brown chippy sauce, whereas Glaswegians prefer vinegar and occasionally the odd dollop of ketchup. Widening the scope akin to the whole ordeal, a Glaswegian chap tried to sue an Edinburgh chippy when they charged him extra for ketchup! Sacrilege.

Before visiting, save up like there’s no tomorrow. Upon arrival, go absolutely wild along the ‘Style Mile’, a square mile of retail overload smack bang in the city centre. From swanky delights and high-street trends to bespoke tailoring, trendy home accents and avant-garde knick-knacks, there’s a shop for one and all. Those who favour all things pre-loved and retro will praise the insane amount of vintage shops
