The University placed 87th overall in the 2024 rankings, performing particularly strongly in the categories of Research Quality and International Outlook - ranking 32nd and 30th in the world respectively.

The Times Higher Education World Rankings are the most comprehensive set of rankings in Higher Education that include 1,904 universities across 108 countries and regions.

Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glasgow said: “It's great to see that the University has once again placed within the top 100 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the sector benchmark for Higher Education rankings.

“Over the past few years, we have firmly established the University of Glasgow's reputation as a global top 100 University. This ranking is highly coveted, especially given the increasing competition yearon-year from institutions across the world, and as always it is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our colleagues and our wider University community that we have achieved this success.

“I would like to thank everyone for the valuable contributions they continue to make to enable our University to excel in the THE World Rankings. This result reflects our commitment to being a worldleading and world-changing institution, and we will continue to strive for excellence in the year ahead."
