Thumbs up from students for GCU

Glasgow Caledonian University has featured in multiple categories across the StudentCrowd University Awards 2022 – the country's only awards based entirely on student reviews.

StudentCrowd – the equivalent of TripAdvisor for students – rated GCU as the 3rd best university in the UK for value for money and 8th for job prospects.

StudentCrowd analysed a total of 15,871 university reviews to select the top 20 across 11 different categories. The winners are selected based on their average review score over the 24-month period from June 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022. The average review scores are across our university, course and accommodation review categories.

UCAS has reported that ‘online reviews by students’ are the second most important resource for prospective students when making a decision on which university to attend.

StudentCrowd said: “Glasgow is 43% cheaper to live in than London and GCU is situated right in the centre. Despite being less expensive, GCU maintains excellent student satisfaction rates, delivering impressive value for money to its students. GCU's career-focused programmes, innovative teaching and world-class facilities continue to set the university apart at this value point.

“Scoring above average in almost every metric of graduate employability, GCU thoroughly deserves its spot in our top 10 when it comes to job prospects. With 93% of students either in employment or further study within 15 months of graduating, Glasgow Caledonian University proves that their superb education programmes, coupled with an extensive careers network providing a wide range of services, produces graduates in high demand across the professional world.”
