AN analysis of the economic impact of Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) found that it boosts the Scottish economy by £444 million each year.
Independent research by economic consultancy Biggar Economics also estimated the university supports 10,000 jobs and generates £7.20 for every £1 it receives through the Scottish Funding Council.
The report found that GCU is "significantly better" than the Scottish average at providing places for disadvantaged students, with almost a third of their students coming from the 40% most deprived areas.
