About Glasgow School of Art

The Glasgow School of Art is a higher education art school offering degrees, postgraduate awards and PhDs in architecture, fine art and design, all awarded by the University of Glasgow. It occupies several buildings around Renfrew Street in the centre of Glasgow.

The school sits on Garnethill, an area first developed by William Harley of Blythswood Hill in the early 1800s. Its most famous building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh and built in phases between 1896 and 1909, making it a key name for anyone interested in Glasgow's architecture.
