City of Glasgow College received 19,931 1st choice
applications from potential students for entry in 2019/20.
The College allows students to apply only once thus
reducing duplication and competition for places. Applicants
can however make up to two course choices (37,023 choice
options) on their application.
A survey of our admissions procedures was carried out in
July 2019. 19,300 applicants, consisting of year 1 and year 2
applicants were included in the survey which was conducted
through survey monkey. Responses were received from
5,186 (26.9%) applicants. This was a significant increase
from last year (12.2%).
The survey consisted of a number of questions aimed at
ascertaining customer satisfaction levels with the admissions
process, with an open-ended comment at the end to assist
with service improvements.
