Why Study at Glasgow Caledonian University - London

Glasgow Caledonian University - London was established in September 2010 as a postgraduate campus based in Fashion Street, Spitalfields, with Moorish-style converted buildings dating back to 1905. However, the University traces its origin from The Queen's College, Glasgow, which was founded in 1875, and the Glasgow College of Technology, founded in 1971. On April 1st, 1993, the two institutions merged to form Glasgow Caledonian University. The new university took its name from the poetic Latin name for present-day Scotland, “Caledonia”.
