to grow their learning skills set and achieve the grades
needed to enter university. We also helped to fight
inequalities by facilitating micro-lending initiative Grameen
in the UK, which is tackling welfare dependency, and
secured funding from the Chief Scientist Office (CSO) to
measure the impact of the initiative on health, wealth and
wellbeing. The scale of the University’s wider social and
economic impact is underlined by the £1billion we
contribute to the UK economy every year.
Our researchers continue to excel in their work, further
reinforcing the assessment that we are the top modern
university in Scotland by research power. From new
work to tackle healthcare infections, to treating knee
osteoarthritis, to interventions to reduce the impact
of dementia, to improving access to fresh water,
to influencing climate justice and social policy,
our research had considerable impact.
As I reflect each year on the many achievements of our
University community of staff and students, I find myself
reporting at least one outstanding, ground-breaking
contribution we have made for the Common Good.
The year 2015 was no exception as we were awarded
accreditation of Glasgow Caledonian University degrees
by the Tertiary Education Commission of Mauritius.
This allowed us to advance our partnership with African
Leadership Unleashed and Fred Swaniker to create the
first African Leadership College.
Committed to developing a new cadre of ethical leaders
for Africa, our partnership venture in Mauritius has
already received over 4000 applicants from able students,
many from the most disadvantaged of backgrounds, for the
first 180 places. It is an exciting adventure for our staff and
students, offering opportunities to build leadership capacity
for Africa while helping us to internationalise our own
curriculum even further and provide new internship
and volunteering placements for our home students.

UNIVERSITY FOR THE COMMON GOOD
Our global reach was enhanced by this development,
and our other activities overseas and the relationships
that underpin them were also further deepened and
strengthened. In New York, our Fair Fashion Center
established its research consultancy credentials; in Muscat,
we celebrated a 20-year partnership with our engineering
college in which half of the students are women; in Dhaka,
our fifth graduation of nurses from our award-winning
nursing college was applauded; in Johannesburg, the second
graduation ceremony of Transnet Freight Rail employees
engaged in work-based education programmes (supported
by GCU and the University of Johannesburg) saw a further
163 cross the stage and our membership of the Ashoka U
network of socially innovative universities saw us collaborate
with Brown University on a digital storytelling project.
At home, the QAA assessed our teaching and learning once
again to be of the highest standard and we enhanced our
enduring commitment to widening access. Our innovative
Caledonian Club and Advanced Highers Hub are allowing
students from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity

Our Chancellor, Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad
Yunus, capped 2500 graduates at our summer graduation
ceremonies. He also delivered the keynote address at the
United Nations Principles for Responsible Management
Education (PRME) UK Conference at our University,
as well as fully delivering his role as a global thought leader
through his work at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
the One Young World Summit in Bangkok and the Social
Enterprise World Forum in Milan. His leadership is an
inspiration to us all.
26 The GCU Foundation
The highlights of this Annual Review fill me with confidence
that we will continue to harness the energy of the staff
and students of the University, across our campuses in
Glasgow, London and New York, to truly deliver on our
social mission, at home and abroad, as the University
for the Common Good.

The Chancellor’s year
“Make all the impossibles possible and create a world
where there is no poverty, no unemployment and no global
warming,” said our Chancellor, the Nobel Laureate Professor
Muhammad Yunus, to graduands in July 2015.
Over four ceremonies, Professor Yunus capped no fewer
than 2500 graduands. The founder of the Grameen Bank,
and one of the most admired thought leaders on the planet,
he then urged each and every one to use the knowledge
gained at GCU to promote change in society and the world.
It was a call to action on behalf of GCU, the University for
the Common Good, that he would reinforce at key events
in Glasgow, Dhaka and New York throughout the year.
At GCU, his address at the Principles for Management
Education (PRME) conference inspired prominent advocates
of responsible citizenship and leadership from across the UK
and Ireland, and it was standing room only at An Audience
With Professor Yunus, hosted on campus with the Glasgow
Chamber of Commerce. Professor Yunus detailed how
social business is helping to eradicate global poverty,
showcasing the Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing
(GCCN) in Bangladesh, which was co-founded with GCU.
It is transforming the lives of impoverished young women
and communities in Dhaka; more than 130 have graduated
and Professor Yunus and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela
Gillies CBE FRSE received a joyous welcome to the 2015
ceremony from students, their proud families and staff.
At GCU New York, the Chancellor focused on driving
forward GCU’s work to support a more sustainable and
just global fashion industry.
He hosted a unique summit of 20 of the world’s top
retailers, which was followed by the launch of the
Fair Fashion Center in partnership with the GCU British
School of Fashion. This pioneering University initiative
prioritises sustainable business practices relating to
human rights, labour and the environment and is playing
a key role in informing future industry frameworks and
decision making.
The ability to convene such influential figures is testament to
the esteem in which Professor Yunus is held. Named as the
ninth most admired global leader of 2015 for his remarkable
contribution towards the eradication of world poverty,
Professor Yunus continued to influence and advise at
business, civic and government levels.
In Switzerland, he joined global leaders at the World
Economic Forum; he delivered the opening address to 1300
delegates at the One Young World Summit in Bangkok;
and he gave the keynote speech at the Social Enterprise
World Forum in Milan. His visit to Italy culminated in him
receiving the honorary citizenship of the city of Bologna.
In India, he was honoured by the Prime Minister for working
to “give the poorest a life of hope, opportunity and dignity”.
The award recognised the role of the Grameen microcredit
system to alleviate poverty.
Pioneered by Professor Yunus for the past four decades,
the system is in use across the world, including in Scotland
where Grameen in the UK was established with guidance
from the Chancellor and the support of GCU.

Transforming lives
through education
There was much to celebrate during a landmark year for
students, staff and the communities we serve.
We saw the graduation of nearly 4000 students in Glasgow
and London; confirmation as the top modern Scottish
university for degree completion (HESA, 2015); and a 95
per cent employment/further study rate for graduates
(HESA 2015). GCU also became one of just 69 institutions
worldwide to receive recognition from the prestigious
international European Foundation for Management
Development Programme Accreditation Scheme for
our business programmes, which involves international
comparison and benchmarking.
Such achievements come as part of a dynamic learning and
teaching experience once again conferred with the highest
judgement by QAA (Scotland). It is an experience that
supports students to transform their lives and the lives
of others; a defining blend of access and excellence that
promotes divergent thinking, social innovation, a global
outlook and entrepreneurialism. The journey to become a
highly employable graduate begins with opportunity, and
our record in this area was described by Dame Ruth Silver,
Chair of the Commission for Widening Access, as being
“one of the most innovative and effective in Scotland” in
the Commission’s interim report.
GCU’s three academic schools worked with partner colleges
to develop more flexible articulation routes for college
students, while the Caledonian Club marked a total
membership of 11,500 children, 3000 families and 500
student mentors since its launch in 2008.
Engagement starts in nursery and continues through to
the end of secondary, supporting pupils from challenging
backgrounds to positive destinations, inspiring social
mobility and widening participation.
Now in its fourth year, the GCU London Club is set to bring
its total engagement to nearly 700 pupils and 250 parents,
exceeding the University target, and we are preparing to
launch a third club at GCU New York.
The Advanced Higher Hub is another success story.
Supported by the Scottish Funding Council and in
partnership with Glasgow City Council, it provides
unrivalled access to world-class learning and teaching
facilities to raise attainment. In only its third year,
it is attracting growing numbers of the city’s most
ambitious sixth year pupils, many who are from difficult
backgrounds. In 2015, the Hub celebrated an outstanding
pass rate of 90 per cent.
We welcomed increased engagement with the
National Student Survey and the vital feedback it
provides as we continue to work together towards
our enduring success as the University for the
Common Good.

Enriching cities and
communities through research
Following our outstanding results in the Research Excellence
Framework, we are proud to be Scotland’s top modern
university by research power.
How did we achieve this? By focusing on our key areas of
strength in healthy lives, inclusive societies and sustainable
environments through which we deliver the greatest impact
upon people’s lives.
Our academics think differently and challenge policymakers
and business leaders to do the same, working across
disciplines and international borders, wielding expertise in
applied health, gender budgeting, social work, equality and
social justice to change the lives of the most vulnerable
members of society here and across the world.
As a partner in a £4.2million network aimed at tackling
healthcare associated infection, our researchers are
providing evidence for infection control precautions.
The ground-breaking £3.6million KNEEMO project,
one of Europe’s largest ever investigations into the diagnosis
and treatment of the painful condition knee osteoarthritis,
will see the development of new methods to diagnose,
treat, and even prevent the disease from developing
among those at risk.
Inspired by Playlist For Life, which was founded by
honorary graduate Dr Sally Magnusson following her
experiences with her late mother, we are enhancing
the lives of people with dementia and their carers
through research into personalised music playlist
interventions.
In Malawi and Zambia, vulnerable communities are benefiting
from research to improve access to water, and we welcomed
a vote by the European Parliament to award funding of
€1 million to GCU to improve the use of green infrastructure
to reduce emissions and improve human health.
It is no surprise then that we attract prestigious international
research partners and funders including the European
Commission, the World Health Organization, Medical
Research Council, the Scottish Government and the Chief
Scientist Office.
Our research is carried out in Glasgow, London and New York
by our Research Institutes and key centres of excellence,
including the British School of Fashion, the Centre for Climate
Justice, the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health, and
the Fair Fashion Center at GCU New York, inspiring students
through knowledge transfer and supporting GCU’s mission as
the University for the Common Good.

Innovating for social and
economic impact
Our continual innovation to enhance workforces and
advance technology is helping to meet the needs of a
changing world and the challenges faced by industry,
business and the health sector.
GCU’s impact in this key area led to the expansion of our
contract with energy leaders SSE to develop the knowledge
and skills of its most ambitious and talented new recruits.
The co-created programme is delivered by the School for
Work Based Education, and following its success at our
Glasgow campus, is now being run for SSE employees in
the south of England at our GCU London campus.
We also deliver customised education programmes in
South Africa to address a critical skills shortage. In October,
we celebrated the graduation of the second cohort of
Transnet Freight Rail employees who completed GCU
degrees, diplomas and certificates in Railway Operations
Management delivered in partnership with the Institution
of Railway Operators and the University of Johannesburg.
In addition to sharing our learning and teaching
expertise to enhance productivity and competitiveness,
our researchers are supporting a wide range of commercial
and public sector organisations. For example, we are
working with the Digital Health and Care Institute (DHI) on
a health service project which uses camera technology to
keep parents in constant contact with premature newborns
when they are unable to visit the intensive-care baby unit.
The Construction Scotland Innovation Centre (CSIC)
has tasked our researchers with helping to transform
the Scottish construction industry by supporting the
development of a new wall system for the Stewart Milne
Group. The system is expected to offer improved durability
with enhanced thermal, acoustic and fire performance,
as well as being simpler to install and more cost effective.
Further engineering projects confirmed in 2015 will see us
help Howden engineers to better reflect the environments
and machine conditions found on their sites; assist SST
Sensing to develop sensors which measure levels of oxygen
in the air for a wide range of industrial applications; and aid
Doble Engineering to detect faults and predict power failures
for the electric supply industry.
Building on our strong record of innovation and social
impact, GCU is in the unique position of facilitating the first
micro lending operation of its type in the UK. Grameen in
the UK, inspired by the work of Chancellor Yunus, provides
funding for aspiring entrepreneurs from poorer communities
who are not served by more traditional financial services.
2015 marked its first year of operation and, by December,
the operation had issued more than 250 loans and
secured £250,000 in additional funding to extend to
other communities, encouraging the economic and
personal development of business owners, their families
and their communities.

Engaging globally
“This is an exciting time to join Glasgow Caledonian
University, with bold and ambitious aims to extend
our global reach and impact,” explains Drs Jeanine
Gregersen-Hermans, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Vice
Principal International.
We attract students from more than 100 countries and our
campuses in Glasgow, London and New York deliver many
opportunities to engage globally. Collectively, this creates a
distinctive environment for our students and staff to share
their cultural experiences, ideas and innovation and to
broaden their horizons.
For example, more than seven per cent of our Glasgow-based
students were involved in an overseas opportunity in 2015,
including 100 fashion business undergraduate students and
staff who completed a study visit to GCU New York.
Our inaugural Summer School attracted students from
China, Canada, the USA and Ghana, while GCU London –
home to the British School of Fashion – attracted
postgraduate students from across the globe, and GCU
New York developed its potential as a key recruitment hub
for US students to Glasgow through its ongoing engagement
with educational, research and business partners.
Internationalisation is, however, much more than just
the recruitment of overseas students. We are preparing
graduates for a globalised society and are committed
to educational development and research that supports
both stable and emerging economies. This is exemplified
through our long-term educational partnerships in Oman,
Bangladesh, UAE and Africa.
The number of graduates from the Caledonian College
of Engineering in Oman reached 3050 in 2015 while in
Bangladesh, the Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing
marked its fourth graduation and again achieved the
Unilever International Award for its positive impact
on healthcare and education.
The postgraduate certificate in Medical Ultrasound was
rolled out at a specialist training centre in Sharjah, UAE.
On top of its educational offering, the programme provided
patients who would be otherwise unable to receive
ultrasound examinations.
In Africa, GCU became the founding academic
partner of the African Leadership College, and will
deliver programmes to develop the continent’s future
leaders and improve access to affordable higher
education, while in South Africa we enhanced our
hugely successful partnership with Transnet Freight Rail,
the University of Johannesburg and the Institution of
Railway Operators.
Our holistic approach to education, with a focus on
promoting social innovation, led to GCU’s official
designation as a Changemaker Campus by
Ashoka U, the world’s leading consortium of
social entrepreneurs.
As such, GCU is now in a network of leading
universities worldwide, with a particular focus on the
US, opening up unique opportunities for our students
and staff to connect with such institutions as Brown,
Cornell, Duke and Johns Hopkins among others.

Influencing positive change
The escalating refugee crisis; the spread of viral hepatitis;
gender inequality; and widening access to education − just a
few of the global challenges in which GCU is stimulating
public debate and influencing policymakers to enrich the
lives of people on our doorstep and across the globe.
With the Scottish Refugee Council and Business in the
Community, GCU hosted a public discussion on the
Syrian refugee crisis and what action needs taken.
At GCU London, Dr Manuel Carballo examined the
way in which the European Union is dealing with the
mass arrival of people into Europe and the impact on
global health and development.
Our researchers worked with Health Protection Scotland to
deliver key research for the Scottish Government’s Hepatitis
C Action Plan, and supported the 2015 World Hepatitis
Summit, the first global event for health ministers, policy
makers, patients and international researchers. It led to a call
on governments to set global targets for the elimination of
hepatitis, which claims 1.4million lives each year.
Run in parallel with the UN Climate Change Conference in
Paris, our Centre for Climate Justice hosted an exchange on
food security as part of the 2015 Global Landscapes Forum.
As world leaders convened to agree on Sustainable
Development Goals and a new climate deal beyond 2020,
the Global Landscapes Forum leveraged this historic
opportunity to shape the development agenda.
We hosted the 2015 UK and Ireland Principles of
Responsible Management Education (PRME) Conference,
which was addressed by Chancellor Yunus. One of only 30
members of the PRME Champions Group, GCU is driving
the global transformation of business management
education. The University was also represented at the 2015
PRME Global Forum in the US, with GCU New York hosting
the official reception.
Academic experts, policy makers and leading politicians
attended the Professor Ailsa McKay memorial conference
in January, celebrating the work of the internationally
respected economist and founder of GCU’s hugely
influential Women in Scotland’s Economy (WiSE) Research
Centre, which continues to champion the position of women
in the economy.
Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning
Angela Constance MSP praised GCU’s record of widening
access and raising attainment during a visit to the
Advanced Higher Hub and the Minister for Europe and
International Development Humza Yousaf MSP launched
UHatch, GCU’s entrepreneurial hub. These activities and
others are indicative of our fundamental drive to enrich
the lives of men, women and children across the world,
a mission acknowledged by the Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon
MSP during the 2015 Caledonian Lecture at GCU New York,
when she said: “Glasgow Caledonian University, in its
collaborations around the world, is defined by a strong
commitment to wider society, to the common good.”

Our students’ achievements
Our students continue to be our finest ambassadors,
achieving success and industry recognition at national and
international level, and stepping up to support society’s
most vulnerable.
First stop Hong Kong, where Ross Anderson, Eugene Atiso,
Dale Mason and Graham Allen − a team of talented
engineering undergraduates − triumphed over rival students
from across Hong Kong and Australia in the final of the CIOB
Global Student Challenge. Our students’ success continued
with Fiona Buckmaster, third-year optometry student,
who won the European Student of the Year award at the
2015 CooperVision Future Ocular Research Creativity Event,
and final-year optometry student Romana Khaliq, who was
named 2015 UK CooperVision Student of the Year. Now we
are keeping our fingers crossed for a BAFTA; our game-design
students who took part in Scotland’s biggest video games
festival, Dare to be Digital, are shortlisted for the Academy’s
Ones to Watch award, which will be announced in April 2016.
While the awards were lining up, eight students were
achieving personal goals inspired by our mission and with the
support of scholarships established in memory of our late
Chancellor Magnus Magnusson KBE. An environmental UN
internship, helping women in Egypt exercise their human rights
and the rehabilitation of malnourished children in Ghana were
just some of the life-changing projects they carried out.
Our optometry students once again travelled to South Africa
to volunteer on Phelophepa, custom-built ‘trains of hope’
that deliver health care to remote areas of the country.
Ours are the only students involved in the UK and the
project gives them invaluable experience of working with
communities as they care for up to 100 patients every day.
This time they also met the British High Commissioner
to South Africa, Judith Macgregor, who visited the train
in Limpopo.
Our Student of the Year Goodness Wondah was
recognised for his outstanding contribution to the
University community. Goodness, from Nigeria and
a Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering student,
is a School Officer and Student Mentor, engaging with
the Caledonian Club, the Schools and Colleges Engagement
and Transition Team, and as a Welcome Ambassador.
His academic commitment led to the presentation of his
research into climate change at Scotland’s 2050 Climate
Group Summit.
Multimedia Journalism students Rebecca Tracy,
Harmony Maijer and Ryan Bounagui hit the headlines
themselves when they travelled to Azerbaijan to
report trackside at the first European Games in Baku.
The opportunity to broadcast from the competition was
organised by GCU PhD student John Cullen, who also
commentated for BT Sport and ISB.
Meanwhile, our Students’ Association received a
Student Engagement Award at the sparqs National
Conference for the most effective course
representative initiative.

Building a sustainable future
As the University for the Common Good, we are uniquely
placed to make a meaningful contribution to the principles
of sustainable development.
The University’s measures for reducing waste, maximising
recycling and saving energy have enabled us to reduce our
carbon footprint and send no waste to landfill.
As a result, we became the first university in Scotland to
achieve EcoCampus Platinum status, certified to ISO 14001,
for our environmental practices. EcoCampus is the leading
national Environmental Management System (EMS) for
the higher and further education sectors, which enables
institutions to identify, evaluate, manage and improve
their sustainability performance and procedures. GCU also
became Scotland’s first Cycle Friendly Campus, awarded for
our role in encouraging and supporting the increase of the
number of students, staff and visitors travelling by bike.
The number of students and staff cycling to GCU has
increased significantly since 2012 (1.83% to 2.89% for
students and 4.46% to 8.99% for staff).
The opening of a contemporary new restaurant and a
showcase space for Student Services marked the first
milestone in our £30million campus transformation.
The Heart of the Campus project is a two-year
redevelopment that is creating stimulating spaces to enrich
the learning experience for students and enhance the
working environment for staff.

Professor Pamela Gillies CBE FRSE
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
It’s a key part of the University’s Campus Futures initiative,
a series of works to develop GCU’s estate. The first phase
also included the creation of a new building entrance and,
in 2016, the final part of the project will see a glass pavilion
constructed to form a new gateway for the University.
It will lead to a 500-seat lecture theatre and conference
venue, as well as flexible seminar rooms. A suspended
glass meeting room will provide an additional striking
design feature.
We continued to build on our record of strong financial
management in 2015, too, by growing and diversifying
our income base. Income grew by £3.9m to £120.6m,
including an increase in research funding to £5.8m
in 2014/15. The University maintained a strong
net cash inflow from operating activities and has
developed robust financial planning targets over the
next five years to implement the proposals in the
Strategy 2020.
The Principal and Vice-Chancellor, assisted by the University
Executive, is responsible for the strategic development and operational
management of the University, its academic schools and professional
service departments. The Principal and Vice-Chancellor is an ex-officio
member of the University Court.
The Court is responsible for determining the overall strategic direction
of the University. It approves the budgetary framework and oversees the
University’s performance and development.

Sir Alex Ferguson met GCU students when he visited the campus to launch the Glasgow Caledonian University Foundation with a ten-year scholarship gift.
The GCU Foundation
The University launched the Glasgow Caledonian University
Foundation, the new operating name for its charitable
fundraising activities.
In support of the University’s commitment to transform
lives through education through the delivery of an
outstanding student experience, the Foundation
engages with philanthropists and provides a platform
to showcase the contribution that donations make to
students and communities.
Sir Alex Ferguson CBE, an honorary graduate of GCU,
launched the Foundation with a £500,000 founding gift
to support widening access for talented individuals from
all backgrounds. The Sir Alex Ferguson Scholarship and
Awards Fund will support more than 200 students over
the next 10 years through access scholarships for selected
undergraduates who join GCU via its flagship outreach
programme, the Caledonian Club, as well as a variety of
study-enhancing student mobility awards.
The Caledonian Club has now received donations exceeding
£1 million, including its largest ever donation; a £675,000

UNIVERSITY FOR THE COMMON GOOD
endowment that will fund access scholarships and a
five-year literacy and attainment programme.
At GCU’s British School of Fashion, the continued generosity
of Founding Patron Dr Don McCarthy has sparked the
interest of others committed to nurturing future industry
leaders and innovators of fashion. Meanwhile, our
partnership with M&S continued to provide financial
support to its growing number of scholars.
Donating over £100,000, Santander Universities offers our
students a variety of educational opportunities that enhance
their employability including scholarships, mobility awards,
Spanish classes and matched funded internships. Santander,
and other donors including the Merchants House, also
supported our annual Magnusson Awards.
The support of one of the University’s longest-serving
donors, the Moffat Charitable Trust, reached over £1.6m
this year for travel, tourism and events scholarships.
We would like to thank all of our donors who help us to
transform lives through education.
