University of Strathclyde, Glasgow (UK)

The University of Strathclyde is a leading international technological university which prides itself on partnerships with public and private sectors. Established in 1796 as a place of ‘useful learning,' the University remains committed to research, teaching and being of benefit to society. We reach outside the University to make society better educated, prosperous, healthy, fair and secure, through excellence in research, education, knowledge exchange and creative engagement with partner organisations locally, nationally and internationally.

We are a university that makes a positive difference to the lives of students, society and the world. Our strategic aim is to develop students who are engaged, enterprising, enquiring, and ethically, globally and culturally aware; work-ready graduates with impact who engage with societal and global challenges.

Our heritage of useful learning and high quality student experience is based on our staff’s commitment and enthusiasm. We work together to create a culture of collaboration and integration and are committed to widening access to education.

Strathclyde’s focus is on useful learning and employability. As well as an award winning Careers service there is close engagement with industry through industrial placements for students and research facilities such as our Technology & Innovation Centre. This facility is transforming the way academics, business, industry and the public sector work in partnership. We're working together to find solutions to challenges that matter in areas including energy, health, future sustainable cities and manufacturing. 

We’re delighted to have won Times Higher Education University of the Year 2019 – the only university to be awarded the UK-wide award for a second time. We have also been recognised as Scottish University of the Year 2020 by the Sunday Times Good University Guide, and were awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the highest national honour awarded to our sector.

Strathclyde is top 20 in the UK for research intensity in the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014.

Strathclyde has a triple accredited Business school (AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS), a top 15 Law School, one of the largest Engineering Faculties in the UK and a £36m Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences.

The University has a vibrant, international community with students from more than 100 countries and is investing £350m in its campus. The campus is very compact and students can access university buildings in only a 5-10 minute walk. Strathclyde’s campus is in the centre of Glasgow, one of the UK’s largest and most dynamic cities and a good base for exploring the scenery and history of Scotland, with the rest of the UK and Europe on the doorstep.
