Glasgow Clyde College has three campuses across Glasgow, including: Anniesland Campus in the west end; Cardonald Campus in the south west; and Langside Campus in the south of the city next to the New Victoria Hospital.

The college also has various community based learning centres in the south and west areas of Glasgow. One of Scotland’s largest further education institutions, with around 27,000 full and part time students, the college was formed in August 2013 following the merger of Anniesland, Cardonald and Langside Colleges.

Courses lead to a range of qualifications including NQ, NC, HNC, HND and degree.

There are a wide range of subjects available, delivered through four different schools: Access and Continuing Learning; Business, Creative and Digital Industries; Engineering, Computing and Built Environment; and Health and Wellbeing.

Glasgow Clyde College, along with Glasgow’s other two colleges, Glasgow Kelvin College and City of Glasgow College, have formed a partnership to deliver Foundation Apprenticeships to students across Greater Glasgow.

Facilities and services

There are lots of amenities available including well equipped campus libraries, a student advisory service, a learning support service, gyms, cafes and child care facilities in all three campuses.

There are also hair and beauty training salons at the Cardonald and Langside Campuses, a theatre at Langside Campus, art and dance studios and a training restaurant at Anniesland Campus.

A new Horticulture Teaching Block was built in late 2017 to facilitate the students and staff involved in horticultural studies.
