Equipped with individual study-bedrooms and large study halls, Glenard seeks to attract good students who wish to achieve the best results while making the most of their time at university. The ethos of Glenard is based on the traditional idea of a university: a place to study in an atmosphere of intellectual enquiry, independence and openness.
The presence of professional catering staff ensures that Glenard is characterised by the warmth and friendliness of a home.
Glenard has been open to students since 1961. The residence welcomes students of all creeds and ethnic backgrounds. The pastoral care in Glenard has been entrusted to Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church which aims to help people lead a fully Christian life and to seek holiness through their study, daily work and family and social commitments.
