Glasgow Clyde College is a further and higher education college, located in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It was created following the mergers of Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College in August 2013.
On 17 November 2011, Cardonald College announced it had entered merger talks with Anniesland College.[1]
In January 2012, Langside College first entered merger talks with Cardonald College and Anniesland College.
On 28 March 2012, it was announced by Cardonald College principal, Susan Walsh, that a merger with Cardonald College, Anniesland College and Langside College was "highly likely."[2]
On 28 August 2012, a formal consultation was launched and ran until 16 November 2012.[3]
On 14 December 2012, Cardonald College principal Susan Walsh was appointed principal of the new college.[4]
On 1 August 2013, Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College was merged to form Glasgow Clyde College.
In June 2019, officials from Glasgow Clyde College revealed that, "due to issues and decisions outside of the college's control we are required to absorb an additional £1 million of costs in the year ahead without any additional Government funding". As a result, the college will be looking at voluntary redundancies.[5]
