The Goethe-Institut is the Federal Republic of Germany’s cultural institute, active worldwide. We promote the study of German abroad and encourage international cultural exchange.

The Goethe-Institut Glasgow organises and supports a broad spectrum of cultural events. It provides a stage in Scotland for the German art scene and for intercultural exchanges.

Our language department offers German language courses & exams, as well as workshops and seminars for teachers of German.

The library and information centre of the Goethe-Institut Glasgow serves as a resource for those interested in contemporary Germany, and for those interested in teaching and studying German as a foreign language with an extensive stock of print and audiovisual media. In addition, we offer two workstations for individual  research purposes.

Kultur Ensemble Glasgow

From June 2026, Kultur Ensemble Glasgow is creating a new framework for French-German-Scottish cooperation in Glasgow and Scotland. A cooperation between Alliance Française Glasgow and Goethe-Institut Glasgow, with support of Institut français d’Écosse, Kultur Ensemble Glasgow creates both a space for exchange and collaboration at the joint venue at Park Circus, and an opportunity for cultural cooperation across Scotland, strengthening European connections worldwide.
