The University of Glasgow is marking its 575th anniversary with a major campus expansion, including the £1.3 billion Keystone Building project due for completion by 2028-29. The development, part of a wider push to modernise facilities on its Gilmorehill campus, has coincided with improved National Student Survey results for teaching quality and student experience, helping the university climb into the top 20 of this year's rankings.

The new Keystone Building will sit on a 14-acre site and accommodate 3,600 students across teaching spaces, laboratories and computing facilities, alongside a maker's workshop for the James Watt School of Engineering. It follows four other major projects already completed, including the James McCune Smith learning hub and the Adam Smith Business School. Glasgow, the more "Scottish" of the country's two Russell Group universities, offers bursaries of up to £3,000 a year for students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus scholarships for Scottish students and those of Black heritage, while student accommodation costs range from £5,067 to £9,337 per year.
