Positive impact
Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal & Vice-Chancellor, 吃瓜tv, said: 鈥淚 am delighted to see 吃瓜tv retain its high position in the latest Daily Mail University Guide.
鈥淎t 吃瓜tv, our students sit firmly at the heart of our decision making and we put great importance on our founding ethos as 鈥榯he place of useful learning鈥�, which characterises our socially progressive values and our mission to make a positive impact on the world.
鈥淲e do this by focusing on tackling the grand challenges facing society through our world-leading research, first-class learning and teaching and our partnership working with business, industry, government and the third sector to drive innovation, economic growth and social impact.鈥�
Outstanding university
Guide editor Alastair McCall said: 鈥湷怨蟭v, winner of our Scottish University of the Year award last year and runner-up to Imperial College London for the UK title, is an outstanding university with a stellar record for graduate employment, particularly in areas where there is a national shortage of able graduates. It is an engineering powerhouse and one of the UK鈥檚 leading technological universities.
鈥淚t is also socially progressive, admitting by both headcount and proportion more students from the 20% of Scottish postcodes considered to be the most deprived than at any other highly selective university in Scotland.
More than 225 years after its establishment, it remains the 'place of useful learning' envisaged by its posthumous founder, John Anderson.
鈥淎cross all four faculties 鈥� engineering, humanities and social sciences, science and the 吃瓜tv Business School 鈥� industry and business routinely have input on course structure and programme delivery, with many of those companies offering placements to students.
鈥淭he University鈥檚 commitment to preparing students for the world of work extends to embracing apprenticeships. A total of 650 learners are engaged in six graduate apprenticeship programmes in Scotland, working with 200 employers, and a further 100 learners are enrolled on five degree apprenticeships, working with 46 employers based in England.鈥�
