Known for its studio-based teaching and experimental approach, GSA encourages students to push boundaries and collaborate across disciplines including fine art, fashion, architecture and digital design.
The school’s creative influence can be seen throughout the city, with iconic alumni including filmmaker and actor Peter Capaldi, members of Franz Ferdinand and the legendary architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
