Glasgow Caledonian University is a public university in Glasgow, Scotland, and is the city's third university. Glasgow Caledonian University is Scotland’s fourth largest university in terms of student recruitment.

Glasgow Caledonian was officially formed in 1993 with the merger of Glasgow Polytechnic and The Queen’s College, Glasgow. The vast majority of the campus is that of the former Glasgow Polytechnic, which was founded in 1971 as Glasgow College of Technology (GCT) - to fill the gap left when the Royal College of Science and Technology was elevated to university status in 1964 to become the University of Strathclyde. The campus occupies the site of the former Buchanan Street Railway Station, which was demolished in 1967. Queens College, established in 1975 originally occupied a site in the Woodlands area of the city - but this has now closed.
