University of Glasgow - International Campus Tours

Thank you for your interest in the University of Glasgow and we look forward to welcoming you to our historical campus!

Your tour

Your campus tour will depart from the Welcome Point (visitor information centre based in the McIntyre Building beside the University’s Main Gate), University Avenue (A22 on the campus map). Your tour guide will meet you inside along with a representative from the International Office. Your contact at the Marketing, Recruitment & International Office in relation to campus tours is Joanna Do Rego (e-mail: joanna.dorego@glasgow.ac.uk) and telephone no: +44 (0)141 330 33241).

One of our Student Ambassadors will show you the key locations of the University and introduce you to life at Glasgow. Tours are around 45-50 minutes in duration. Unfortunately due to time constraints, the Student Ambassador will not be able to wait any longer than 5 minutes past the hour for latecomers, so please endeavour to arrive on time. Anyone who arrives after the tour has departed can ask for a Self-Guided Tour booklet at Reception. Please note that tours will take place outside so please wear appropriate clothing for the weather.

Visitors should note that the International Office does not arrange meetings with academic members of staff. Should you wish to meet with a member of staff within the subject area of your interest, we suggest that you contact the relevant School.

We hope that you enjoy your tour and that your visit to the University of Glasgow will be the beginning of a great student experience in Scotland.
