Glasgow Caledonian University (informally GCU or Caledonian) is a public university in Glasgow, Scotland. With a history traceable to 1875, the University was formally instituted in 1993 by an Act of Parliament that created Glasgow’s third university, and what would become one of Scotland’s largest universities with more than 18,000 students.

GCU is regularly ranked among the UK's top 10 modern universities, and is widely regarded as one of the UK's most dynamic and innovative universities. In 2010, less than 20 years after its formation, Caledonian was ranked among the world’s top 400 universities, the first and only modern Scottish university to achieve this global standing. In 2013, the UK's Higher Education Statistics Agency ranked Caledonian as Scotland's 2nd best university in terms of employability among graduates and 11th best in the UK. Also that year, the University was ranked 2nd in the UK for international student satisfaction.

GCU is located in a modern purpose-built campus in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre and opened a graduate campus in London in 2010, the first for a Scottish university. The University also has affiliate campuses in China and Oman and is planning to open a graduate campus in New York to deliver executive training and short courses, as the first British university to do so. The University's Glasgow Campus is highly energy efficient and integrates a combined heat and power plant and district heating scheme to minimise carbon emissions.
