The '''University of Glasgow''' (abbreviated as '''''Glas.''''' in [[Post-nominal letters|post-nominals]]; {{Langx|gd|Oilthigh Ghlaschu}}<ref>{{Cite web|title=University of Glasgow – Explore – UofG Gàidhlig|url=https://www.gla.ac.uk/explore/gaelic/|access-date=9 November 2020|website=gla.ac.uk}}</ref>) is a [[Public university|public]] [[research university]] in [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]].

Along with the universities of [[University of St Andrews|St Andrews]], [[University of Aberdeen|Aberdeen]], and [[University of Edinburgh|Edinburgh]], the [[university]] was part of the [[Scottish Enlightenment]] during the 18th century.

In common with universities of the pre-modern era, Glasgow originally educated students primarily from wealthy backgrounds; however, it became a pioneer{{citation needed|reason=That GU participated in the broadening of tertiary ed is probably uncontroversial, but a citation would be good for the claim that it was a *pioneer* in that broadening.|date=June 2015}} in British higher education in the 19th century by also providing for the needs of students from the growing urban and commercial [[middle class]]. Glasgow University served all of these students by preparing them for professions: law, medicine, civil service, teaching, and the church. It also trained smaller but growing numbers for careers in science and engineering.<ref>Paul L.
