While Indentured under the tutelage of James Corkindale, John Hutchison attended classes at the University of Glasgow. The school, which had been founded in 1451 by Glasgow Cathedral, began teaching modern medicine in 1751. Hutchison attended the university from 1812-1815.A favourite professor at the times was Dr. John Burns, whose lectures on midwifery were popular with the students. The lectures were practical and included anecdotes and humour. In 1799 Dr. Burns began publishing literary works to be used by professionals around the globe. Dr. Burns' final lecture on midwifery was concluded in 1815.
In 1815 Hutchison took a compulsory chemistry course with Dr. Thomas Hope.
Hope is remembered as one of the most popular chemistry professors in Britain. Hope's courses were so popular that attendance almost doubled each successive year he taught chemistry. Students from abroad would come to Edinburgh to attend his lectures and the tardy willingly stood throughout the lectures.
