Welcome to the University of Glasgow Exploration Society
About the society
The University of Glasgow Exploration Society has been helping teams of undergraduate students explore the world on zoological and geographical expeditions for many years. The earliest record we have is of an expedition in 1920 and over the past 90 years hundreds of students have had the chance to undertake research in the field.
2012 Expeditions
We will have teams of students going to eight countries in 2012. From Iceland to Peru via Cyprus or Tobago, over 60 students will take to the field over the coming summer.
You can read more about each of the expedition teams by following the links below.
