The Faculty of Medicine is one of three Faculties in the University of Glasgow’s Biomedical Territory, which also includes the Faculties of Biological & Life Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine. The Biomedical Territory is home to more than 485 academic staff, including approximately 160 clinicians. The Territory’s research awards since 2001 have exceeded £638M, including investment of over £77M in new state-of-the-art capital infrastructure. This investment has also provided the highest quality learning environment for the 1286 new postgraduate research students that our staff have supervised since 2000.

The Faculty of Medicine provides an optimum environment to enable leading-edge, internationally-competitive research, and facilitate the rapid translation of laboratory-based research to the clinic and the wider population. In partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, we play a crucial role in understanding Glasgow’s and Scotland’s health and tackle health inequality.
