Welcome to the Adam Smith Business School at the University of Glasgow, where history meets innovation, and you meet your future.
The University of Glasgow’s Adam Smith Business School is proud to be part of one of Europe’s top business schools, distinguished by the prestigious triple crown accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, a mark of global excellence held by fewer than 1% of business schools worldwide.
Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. With centuries of academic heritage, we continue to shape the future, inspired by our remarkable alumni, Adam Smith, the father of modern economics. His legacy lives on in our commitment to developing forward-thinking, career-ready graduates equipped to thrive in a dynamic global marketplace.
At the Adam Smith Business School, diversity isn’t just celebrated, it’s central to who we are. We foster an inclusive, international community where differences spark innovation and drive progress. In 2024, our dedication to gender equality and inclusive practices was recognised with a Silver Award from the Athena Swan Charter. And since 2020, we’ve proudly served as an advanced signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), embedding sustainability and ethical leadership into everything we do.
Our programmes are designed to cultivate enlightened, engaged, and entrepreneurial graduates who make a meaningful impact on business, culture, and society. The University of Glasgow has a legacy of changing the world — and at the Adam Smith Business School, we’re committed to empowering the people who will shape what comes next.
