These awards celebrate universities that have gone above and beyond in providing exceptional student experiences, from academic support to campus life and career opportunities.
These rankings are powered by real student feedback collected over the past two years, providing a genuine insight into what it’s like to study at each institution. The awards recognise universities that consistently deliver outstanding teaching, facilities, and student satisfaction.
Unlike traditional university rankings that often rely on research output or legacy reputation, StudentCrowd’s awards are entirely based on the voices of students themselves. This ensures prospective students receive honest, peer-driven insights when deciding where to study.
The data is calculated from over 2,000 reviews from students who attended Scottish universities. Students reviewed their personal experience of university across 5 categories: campus and facilities, clubs and societies, students' union, careers service and WiFi.
Take a look below to see where Glasgow universities rank in the top 10, with a review from a student at each university featured.
