Introduction from the Principal and Vice-Chancellor

Last year was a historic one for the New York. This gives GCU a foothold in one of the most University as we formally installed buoyant higher education markets in the world, in a city of considerable intellectual and cultural power and Nobel Laureate, Presidential Medal of influence. GCU NY will provide a practical base as Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal we deliver on our University mission, to work for the Winner, Professor , common good, in yet another of the great cities of as our Chancellor. the world. Last year we also developed a number of significant In his inaugural address, the Chancellor enthralled relationships in the United States with Stony Brook, our distinguished national and international guests, NYU, Parsons and Pace Universities in New York and and he challenged and uplifted our students by UMass in Boston, which, alongside MOUs signed in reminding them they were leaders in our society China and Malaysia, have strengthened our international right now, not “future leaders”. partnerships and global network. Chancellor Yunus also launched the Grameen GCU London continues to thrive, with further increases UK initiative based at the University which brings in applications and student numbers, particularly his unique form of micro-credit to the city to help local those from overseas.

04 impact on how we identify and develop new research and training opportunities to support business. In delivering for the public and voluntary sectors, we launched, in conjunction with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), a Service Users and Carers Strategy which will allow all of those involved in the provision of care, the opportunity to influence the work of our School of Health and Life Sciences. Our hugely significant impact on the private, public and voluntary sectors is captured in the social benefit we deliver through our applied research, patient care enhancement and the quality of professional training offered to our graduates as well as the upskilling of those already in the professions. This social benefit is complemented by our contribution to the economy of the City of Glasgow and to the Scottish economy. Independent research valued this in 2012 at £444million, a 10 per cent increase since 2010. Our students continue to impress us all with their achievements and success. Students like Haris Ansari who received a National Sports Scholarship to support his weightlifting training as a Commonwealth Games hopeful and Anna Sloan who won Gold in the World Curling championships. Delivering eyecare in Zambia, nursing in India, and providing prosthetics in Cambodia were just a few examples of the inspirational work our Magnusson scholars engaged in to make a positive impact around the world. Finally, a highlight of a great year for our Students’ Association was being recognised for its sector-leading work in promoting equality and diversity at the NUS Awards. Our students and our staff are rightly proud of everything they have achieved in the last year and I hope you enjoy this review of a hugely positive academic year for our University.

In March 2012, Scotland became the first country in the UK to embrace the Grameen system, which provides low-cost business loans and encourages responsible citizenship through a social contract with borrowers. Professor Yunus announced at GCU the creation of the Grameen Scotland Foundation, which facilitated the launch of Grameen in the UK. With the aid of Bank, the Scottish Government and private individuals, the Foundation has reached its £1million loan funding target and is now preparing to make its first loans in some of Scotland’s most disadvantaged communities.

In June, GCU academics travelled to Bangladesh to join Professor Yunus at the World Social Business Day. In early July Professor Yunus participated in his first GCU graduation ceremonies with 2000 graduands at the SECC’s Clyde Auditorium. In his address, he described the graduands as “supermen and superwomen”. He urged them to use their knowledge and skills to change the world for the better, telling them: “Graduation is one of the most memorable occasions in everybody’s lives. I must remind you all that you are the most powerful generation in human history. You have the most amazing technology at your command and the ability to build a better world.”

During the ceremonies, Professor Yunus conferred doctorates on honorary graduates including Chief Scientific Advisor to the President of the European Commission Professor Anne Glover, internationally renowned games designer Professor Richard Lemarchand, actress and writer Phyllida Law, and social entrepreneur, model and actress Lily Cole.

Scientists in the Institute received funding from ScottishPower to map the maze of abandoned tunnels which exist beneath Glasgow and identify underground reservoirs of water which have the potential to heat homes and to power under-street heating.

A multi-disciplinary GCU team, including engineers, social scientists and technologists, began a £7million study to raise awareness of the presence of pharmaceutical residues in waste water and explore new methods of reducing them. The noPILLS project will see the GCU team working with partners across Europe, including water companies and universities.

Outside of engineering and health, colleagues continued to conduct research of considerable value to society. Economists in the Women in Scotland’s Economy Research Centre received an Economic and Social Research Council grant to study discriminatory public spending decisions. The team will develop a method of identifying and ending such discrimination, focusing on the Scottish Government’s Modern Apprenticeship Programme.

A campaign to end destitution among asylum seekers in Scotland was launched in April by the Scottish Refugee Council, British Red Cross and the Refugee Survival Trust after GCU researchers were commissioned to investigate the problem.

Other important studies included research into the placement of police officers in Scotland’s schools, which found that the scheme had led to a reduction in violence and other anti-social behaviour and had helped to create improved educational experiences for many young people.

Bold vision for global graduates

At the heart of the University’s vision for the future is its new Internationalisation Strategy which was officially approved by Court last December.

By embedding the principles of internationalisation across all of GCU’s activities, the University aims to deliver its long-term objectives as a globally-networked university, delivering access and excellence with an overarching commitment to the common good. This includes innovative approaches to developing an international curriculum. For example, GCU LEAD this year launched Global Perspectives with three-year pilot projects in audio engineering, psychology and

In addition, the University is collaborating with public bodies such as China’s Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation through the School of Health and Life Sciences which is working with Guanghua Nurse Fund (GNF) to enhance the education and training of staff. Detailed country plans have also been developed for India and South America and a draft plan is in place for Hong Kong. Professor Karen Stanton, Vice-Principal and Pro Vice-Chancellor for International and External Relations, said: “The essential building blocks are now in place and I am delighted the first six months of implementation have been characterised by strong collaboration between the three Schools and the International Office, and a commitment to integrated planning across the central support teams.” These early trends have been reflected positively in a number of ways. All forms of student mobility increased in 2012/13. Participation in Erasmus and non-EU student exchanges rose by 22 per cent and GCU has exceeded its Internationalisation Strategy target, with six per cent of eligible home students participating in the Exchange and Study Abroad programme.
