Is Glasgow School of Art is private or public university ?

The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is a public higher education institution. It is one of the few remaining independent art schools in the UK, receiving funding from the Scottish Funding Council. Founded in 1845, GSA is renowned for its focus on fine art, design, and architecture.

While it operates autonomously, its public status means it adheres to government education standards and offers subsidized tuition fees for eligible students. GSA collaborates with other universities, such as the University of Glasgow, but remains a distinct public entity dedicated to arts education and research.
