Glasgow places within the top 20 in the UK and 3rd in Scotland for the employability of its graduates as ranked by recruiters from the UK's major companies.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/news/best-uk-universities-chosen-major-employers | location=London | work=Times Higher Education | title=The best UK universities chosen by major employers | date=12 November 2015 | access-date=13 April 2017 | archive-date=4 March 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304044555/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/news/best-uk-universities-chosen-major-employers | url-status=live }}</ref>

In the 2008 [[Research Assessment Exercise]] (RAE), almost 70% of research carried out at the university was in the top two categories (88% in the top three categories). Eighteen subject areas were rated top ten in the UK, whilst fourteen subject areas were rated the best in Scotland. The 2008 Times RAE table ranks according to an 'average' score across all departments, of which Glasgow posted an average of 2.6/4. The overall average placed Glasgow as the thirty-third-highest of all UK universities, perhaps reflecting the broadness of the university's activities. In terms of research 'power', however, Glasgow placed fourteenth in the UK and second in Scotland.<ref>{{cite web |author=Scotland |url=http://www.gla.ac.uk/research/aimsassessmentandpolicies/researchassessment/ |title=Glasgow University Research Assessment |publisher=Gla.ac.uk |access-date=22 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605030314/http://www.gla.ac.uk/research/aimsassessmentandpolicies/researchassessment/ |archive-date=5 June 2011 |url-status=dead  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/research/ourresearch/assessment/RAE/Pages/Power-Table.aspx|title=RAE08 Power Table|website=www1.plymouth.ac.uk|access-date=22 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170212104046/http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/research/ourresearch/assessment/RAE/Pages/Power-Table.aspx|archive-date=12 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
