Course type

Our aim is to be the world-leading centre for public research and education, working to improve health and wellbeing through understanding how disease occurs across populations and evaluating the effectiveness of population health interventions.

Public Health research plays a vital role in understanding the impact of biological, social, behavioural, economic, cultural and environmental factors on our health. Our interests span medical, environmental and social sciences and offer students an opportunity to train in a unique interdisciplinary culture and environment.

The advent of large scale data sets from health services, the environment, public services and the private sector is heralding something of a revolution in approaches to public health. For the first time, we are potentially able to see both how people’s health is created, maintained or damaged over time, but also the impact of interventions and policies aimed at improving and protecting health.

PGR students in public health can access the researcher training programmes in the Colleges of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) and the College of Social Science (CoSS). This ensures that PGR students graduate with robust, transferable skills that are relevant to future employment in academia and public, private and third sector organisations.

Our research objectives are to:

• understand the natural course and impact of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases
• contribute to service developments to improve cancer survival
• contribute to a healthier population and environment through policy-related research
• reduce health inequalities of the working age population through cutting-edge, policy informing research.

Individual research projects are tailored around the expertise of principal investigators within public health and the Institute of Health and Wellbeing. Our supervisors use a variety of approaches to understand complex problems including complex statistical analysis, data linkage, longitudinal epidemiological and advanced meta-analysis, but also in depth qualitative techniques and the analysis of new media and policy documentation. We have excellent engagement with the government, the NHS and local authorities, other statutory public organisations and third sector organisations.

Specific areas of interest include:

• the potential for different aspects of environment to positively influence population health and reduce health inequalities
• the differences between chronological and biological ageing and its influence on coronary arterial disease
• evaluating the effects of legislation on population health, such as smoke free legislation
• understanding the interaction of genetic and non-genetic risk factors on population health
• the evaluation of complex public health interventions
• the impact on health of supporting disadvantaged groups into employment

Studying for a PhD in a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment will equip you with transferable research skills that are relevant to a range of career options in the public, private and charitable sectors. Many students find employment in the University sector after completing their studies or choose to pursue careers in health services, government or NGOs with a focus on global health improvement.

University of Glasgow announces new principal and vice-chancellor

Professor Andy Schofield will take up the role in autumn 2025.

The University of Glasgow has appointed its 51st principal and vice-chancellor as it approaches its 575th anniversary.

Professor Andy Schofield will take up the role in autumn 2025, taking over from Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli who has held the post for 15 years.

Prof Schofield is currently vice-chancellor of Lancaster University, a position he has held since May 2020, and was previously pro-vice-chancellor and head of the College of Engineering at the University of Birmingham.

He will join the University of Glasgow on September 1 next year and have a four-week handover period with Sir Anton before taking up the role on October 1.

Prof Schofield said: “It is a great honour to have been appointed as the next principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Glasgow.

“Glasgow is an impressive, world-changing institution which has made huge strides under Sir Anton’s leadership.

“I very much look forward to building on his legacy and working with a brilliant set of colleagues to take the university forward.”

Sir Anton announced in April that he would be retiring next year from the university, which was founded in 1451.

Prof Schofield has an academic background in theoretical condensed matter physics, specialising in correlated electrons.

He studied natural sciences followed by a PhD at the University of Cambridge, where he was appointed to a research fellowship in 1992.

He moved to the US in 1994 and worked at Rutgers University for two years before returning to Cambridge.

In 1999, Prof Schofield moved to the University of Birmingham and was promoted to professor of theoretical physics in 2002.

He held a number of leadership positions within the university before becoming its pro-vice-chancellor.

Gavin Stewart, the University of Glasgow’s convener of court, said: “I am delighted Professor Schofield will be joining the university as its 51st principal and vice-chancellor.

“Professor Schofield has an exceptional academic record, along with the strategic vision and extensive leadership experience required to open the next successful chapter in our long and distinguished history.

“As the University of Glasgow approaches its 575th anniversary, I know everyone across our community will welcome Andy and will work with him to further raise our global ambitions and reputation.

“I would also like to put on record the court’s gratitude and appreciation to Sir Anton for leading the university over the past 15 years to its current strong position.

“I look forward to continuing to work with him over the next 12 months.”

Our MAcc in Accountancy Graduate Apprenticeship is a professionally orientated qualification delivered in partnership with Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), This course will enable successful candidates to exit with both a MAcc in Accountancy and Chartered Accountant status with ACCA , from whom GCU has received Gold Approved Learning Partner Status. GCU provides high-quality tuition and support, assessed against ACCA’s widely recognised and highly regarded best practice benchmarks.

Our innovative,  fully-funded MAcc Graduate Apprenticeship helps employers recruit new talent and upskill existing staff wishing to study towards a master's degree and professional accountancy qualification. The MAcc Accountancy apprenticeship is open to all employers in either private, public or the third sector.

Our Master of Accountancy Apprentices work in business and finance in roles such as administrator, bookkeeper, trainee accountant, finance assistant, and accounts assistant. Applicants must be living and working in Scotland in the same field as the Graduate Apprenticeship course they are applying to, if you are not employed yet, visit Skills Development Scotland to explore relevant vacancies.

The course is expertly designed to align with ACCA's requirements, providing a clear pathway to chartered status in just five years. Here, you will find all the information you need to fast-track your path to becoming a chartered accountant.

The power of an accountancy graduate apprenticeship

A graduate apprenticeship in accountancy offers benefits for both employees and apprentices. Employers can utilise the MAcc Accountancy program to nurture talent within their organisations. The apprenticeship bridges the gap between academia and practical application, equipping apprentices with hands-on experience and real-world context. By supporting apprentices through the program, employers can tailor their development to meet specific business needs. For apprentices, the apprenticeship provides invaluable practical experience, allowing them to stand out in their professional journey. With over 700 current apprentices, the program also presents an opportunity to develop a professional network within the industry.

All Apprenticeships are  fully-funded by the Scottish Funding Council, therefore choosing to embark on the MAcc graduate apprenticeship route means that apprentices avoid the financial burdens associated with more traditional routes.

To take a deeper dive into the benefits of a Graduate Apprenticeship at GCU please visit our FAQs below and our  Guide to Graduate Apprenticeships. Additionally, our portfolio of  Case Studies  offer a compelling first-hand account of the experiences of our apprentices and their respective employers.

Benefits of an accelerated route to chartered accountancy

By choosing the accelerated path to chartered accountancy, you can embark on a streamlined and efficient journey toward qualification as a chartered accountant. This path compresses the time frame needed to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills from 7 to just 5 years. This expedites apprentices' entry into the workforce, and enables them to kick start their accountancy career earlier than their peers who pursue traditional routes.

The accelerated path offers intensive and focused study, ensuring rapid professional progression and the potential for higher earnings as graduate accountants. With a more concentrated and immersive learning experience, you can absorb essential accounting principles more effectively, allowing you to apply them confidently in real-world scenarios.

Choosing to take an accelerated route also demonstrates a range of qualities that are attractive to employers such as drive, strong organizational skills, discipline, and the ability to handle a rigorous workload.
