Since GIC stands firmly on the foundation of the University of Glasgow, the leadership team members include:

Dr Douglas Aiton - Director

Student life at Glasgow International College (GIC) aims to welcome students to a warm and friendly atmosphere from day one. The staff and academic team are deeply committed to ensuring a smooth and comfortable transition for students studying in the UK.

They achieve this by providing comprehensive academic and pastoral support throughout the entire process.

A welcoming environment

At GIC, students are part of a friendly, supportive, and welcoming community. No matter if you are coming from halfway across the world or just around the corner, the college creates a sense of belonging and inclusion for all. Staff and student mentors make sure that you settle in and quickly learn the ropes of university life, so you can meet other students right away, and it will feel like home in no time.

A lively location

The college is situated in the heart of Glasgow and is surrounded by the dynamic energy and culture of Scotland’s largest city. With a mix of historic landmarks, bustling shopping streets, music venues, and scenic parks, students can enjoy everything from vibrant nightlife to peaceful strolls along the River Clyde.

Professional teaching

GIC students receive high-quality instruction that prepares them for university-level study in a range of subjects. Seasoned academic advisors provide instruction using the latest innovative learning methods so they have the skills and knowledge to succeed in their studies.

Great transport

Glasgow is also student-friendly in terms of how easy it is to explore the city and travel to other locations. Glasgow has a fabulous bus and train system with frequent schedules and you can even use the subway and train systems to get around. Once you are comfortable getting around Glasgow, it will be easy to explore other parts of Scotland and the rest of the UK.

University facilities

As part of the University of Glasgow’s network, students at the International College can take advantage of world-class academic and recreational facilities. There are libraries, study halls, sports centres, and social clubs designed to help you learn and develop personally.

Diverse social and cultural experiences

The college also offers many opportunities for being social with plenty of events and societies and clubs where students can join. Whether you prefer sports, music, volunteering, or learning about Scottish traditions, there is always something fun going on.

Support services for student success

The college places student welfare at the forefront, offering specialisation support services including academic advising, career development, and personal counseling. A member of staff is always on hand to help students overcome barriers and achieve their goals.

Glasgow International College promotes an enriching, stimulating student experience, ensuring everyone is supported academically, socially, and personally.

GIC benefits significantly from its location on the main campus of the University of Glasgow. This prime setting provides direct connections to a strong public transportation network.

Public Transport

Glasgow has a very well-connected public transport system, making it easy for students to travel around the city.

Bus

Glasgow has an extensive bus network located by several companies that is frequently running nearby or through the University of Glasgow campus. Many bus route options link the university area to many parts of the city.

1. First Glasgow – The main bus operator in the city, providing frequent services across Glasgow.
2. McGill’s Buses – Another major provider offering routes to various destinations.
3. West Coast Motors – Operates services in and around Glasgow.

Subway (Metro)

Glasgow Subway – Glasgow's subway system, Known locally as the Clockwork Orange, has a station (Hillhead) located very close to the University of Glasgow campus and GIC. It is one of the easiest ways to travel between the City Centre and West End.

Trains

Glasgow has a number of major train stations which provide links to other destinations across Scotland and the UK. These train stations also facilitate access to national rail services and opportunities to explore farther afield than the city.

1. ScotRail – Operates train services across Scotland, including routes from Glasgow Central Station and Glasgow Queen Street Station.
2. National Rail – Provides connections to other UK cities.

Cycling

Glasgow is becoming more cycle-friendly with dedicated cycle lanes and routes, and many students take to cycling as a form of transport, which is healthy and economical.

1. Nextbike Glasgow – A bike-sharing scheme allowing students to rent bicycles for short trips.
2. Dedicated Cycle Lanes – Glasgow has an expanding network of cycle paths for safer commuting.

Other Options

1. Citylink – Offers coach services connecting Glasgow to other cities in Scotland and the UK.
2. Megabus – Provides budget-friendly travel options for long-distance journeys.

In summary, GIC students benefit from a well-connected position with transport options available on their doorstep. Navigating Glasgow and exploring beyond is both convenient and manageable for GIC students.
