The University of the West of Scotland (UWS) was was created by a merger between The University of Paisley and Bell College on 1 August 2007.
This has created a four-campus, regional University with campuses in Ayr, Dumfries, Hamilton and Paisley. The University of the West of Scotland is Lanarkshire's first modern day University and has over 18,000 students, including the country's largest School of Health, Nursing and Midwifery, with almost 5,000 students.
The recent merger has created a bigger, more sustainable institution that is ideally placed to meet the challenges of the competitive Higher Education sector.
The University of the West of Scotland has a planned investment programme of over £160million, which will result in major benefits for all of its campuses and ensure the future success and stability of the institution.
