At the university's foundation in 1451, there were four original [[Faculty (division)|faculties]]: Arts, Divinity, Law, and Medicine. The Faculty of Divinity became a constituent school of the Faculty of Arts in 2002,<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of the Faculty of Divinity|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2070.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=31 August 2005|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref> while the Faculty of Law was changed in 1984 into the Faculty of Law and Financial Studies, and in 2005 became the Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences.<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of the Faculty of Law and Financial Studies|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2075.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=1 September 2005|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref> Although one of the original faculties established, teaching in the Faculty of Medicine did not begin formally until 1714, with the revival of the [[Regius Professor of Medicine and Therapeutics, Glasgow|Chair in the Practice of Medicine]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of the Faculty of Medicine|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2076.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=1 September 2005|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref> The Faculty of Science was formed in 1893 from Chairs removed from the Faculties of Arts and Medicine, and subsequently divided in 2000 to form the three Faculties of Biomedical and Life Sciences, Computing Science, Mathematics and Statistics (now Information and Mathematical Sciences) and Physical Sciences.<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of the Faculty of Science|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2082.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=2 September 2005|access-date=3 January 2016|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304062001/http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2082.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The Faculty of Social Sciences was formed from Chairs in the Faculty of Arts in 1977, and merged to form the Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences in 2005, the two having operated as a single 'resource unit' since 2002.<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of the Faculty of Social Sciences|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2083.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=2 September 2005|access-date=3 January 2016|archive-date=13 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313214314/http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C2083.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The Faculty of Engineering was formally established in 1923, although engineering had been taught at the university since 1840 when [[Queen Victoria]] founded the UK's first Chair of Engineering.

It was in 1769 when James Watt's engineering at Glasgow led to a stable steam engine and, subsequently, the [[Industrial Revolution]]. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1862 as the independent Glasgow Veterinary College, being subsumed into the university in 1949 and gaining independent Faculty status in 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gla.ac.uk/faculties/vet/aboutus/|title=About the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine|publisher=University of Glasgow|access-date=27 October 2009|archive-date=18 October 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091018051010/http://www.gla.ac.uk/faculties/vet/aboutus/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Faculty of Education was formed in 1999 when the university merged with St Andrew's College of Education,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12017160.A_degree_of_concern_over_college_merger/ |title=A degree of concern over college merger |first=Elizabeth |last=Buie |work=The Glasgow Herald |date=6 April 1999 |access-date=13 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Corporate Biography of St Andrew's College of Education|url=http://www.gashe.ac.uk/public_docs/isaar/C0738.html|publisher=Gateway to Archives of Scottish Higher Education|date=28 March 2000|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref> which had been formed in 1981 through the merger of two Catholic colleges: [[Notre Dame College of Education (Glasgow)|Notre Dame College of Education]], Glasgow, founded in 1895 and Craiglockhart College of Education, Edinburgh, founded in 1920.<ref>{{cite web |title=Records of St Andrew's College of Education, higher education institution, Glasgow, Scotland |url=https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/7455fcd7-0eed-3b98-851a-80100a558754 |website=isc Archive Hub |access-date=15 July 2023 |archive-date=15 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230715113051/https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/7455fcd7-0eed-3b98-851a-80100a558754 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 1 August 2010, the former faculties of the university were removed and replaced by a system of four larger Colleges, intended to encourage interdisciplinary research and make the university more competitive.<ref>{{cite web|title=Challenge for university as Glasgow slims down to step up|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/education/challenge-for-university-as-glasgow-slims-down-to-step-up-1.924863|work=[[The Herald (Glasgow)|The Herald]]|date=9 October 2009|access-date=27 October 2009|archive-date=12 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150612162450/http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/education/challenge-for-university-as-glasgow-slims-down-to-step-up-1.924863|url-status=live}}</ref> This structure was similar to that at other universities, including the [[University of Edinburgh#Colleges and schools|University of Edinburgh]].
