The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is internationally recognised as one of Europe’s top university-level institutions in the visual creative disciplines. It is ranked 3rd in the UK and 8th in the world for art and design in the QS World University Subject Rankings 2026. Based in the heart of Glasgow with connections across the globe, our studio-based teaching and world-leading research spans art, design, architecture, innovation and technology, making a significant difference to contemporary society.
The School of Innovation and Technology is the youngest school of the GSA, where it combines the theoretical and practical exploration of social and technological innovations in a way that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries within art and science. We teach students how to use design in combination with scientific knowledge to critique the way we live now and propose meaningful improvements. Our BSc Immersive Systems Design degree offers two pathways – 3D Modelling and Games & Virtual Reality. Students study a common first year, making it easy to transfer between pathways into the second year where they start to focus on their chosen specialism.
