Responding to the results, Glasgow University Principal, Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, said: “Our improved ranking in the 2021 The World Rankings – widely acknowledged as one of the most significant and respected league tables in the global higher education environment – is a tribute to all our staff who work so hard to make this a world-class teaching and research institution as well as a fantastic student environment.

"My thanks go to everyone across the University for playing their part in making Glasgow a top World 100 University."

Rachel Sandison, Vice Principal External Relations, commented: “The World University Rankings are an important indicator of universities’ global performance.

"They measure performance across teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.
