THE Awards are the biggest celebration of UK higher education in the calendar. This event recognises outstanding work across a wide range of university activity in academia and the professional services. 

Our work to redress historic links to slavery through a significant programme of reparative justice helped us to secure this prestigious title.

Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glasgow, said: “It is an enormous honour to be named as the Times Higher Education (THE) University of the Year for our work around historic slavery and reparative justice. I want to thank the judging panel and THE for their decision.
