Incredible university in the heart of an incredible city. Facilities and opportunities are of the best in the country. Campus is ever expanding and the innovative research the teaching staff are carrying out is amoung the top in the world.
Great teaching standards, plenty of PC labs, an excellent library which opens 24/7 at exam time, lots of varied study spaces (group study with huge PC screens, silent study areas, sound proof booths...), lots of fun events at the Union, down-to-earth students, and really centrally located - next to George Square!
As a second year student at Strathy I would recommend anyone looking to study at the uni to do so! It's right in the city centre with some of the best clubs and bars which are generally cheap to go to. The sports clubs are fantastic, and particularly welcoming to new members. Being part of the ultimate frisbee team has allowed for me to make loads of friends, and really feel part of the uni getting involved in competitions and the sports ball! The computing department and legal department at strathclyde are fantastic, studying a joint degree I was worried about how I would manage between the two departments but as part of the computing department in particular they try and support each pupil as much as possible, and you start to know your lecturers pretty well. It's a great uni full of great people and I wouldn't have wanted to study anywhere else!
Studied at a couple of Glaswegian universities, Strathclyde was far and away superior to the other. Some wonderful lecturers in law. Great ethos. An active avoidance of elitism.
Strathclyde is absolutely great. As a student studying Biochemistry I am often in the SIPBS faculty, where the buildings outside and out are state-of-the-art. More importantly the academic staff at the University are highly qualified and the overall feeling they create is positive. I recpmmend Strathclyde, for their world class facilities and the atmosphere of optimism and positivity. Very supportive as well.
When visiting open days Strathclyde instantly appealed to me compared to other universities. They gave me plenty of information about my corse and what the years of study would consist of. My first year at university was great! My course was easy to follow thanks to the lecturers and facilities offered to me and my social experience was amazing as there was always something well advertised to do such as clubs and socialites
A brilliant University with amazing professors and lecturers. The science department is brilliant and the laboratories are top of the range. I am just moving into third year and I am so glad I picked this university, the best in Scotland to me. Great access to facilities such as the gym, swimming pool and a great library. The union isba great place to socialise with friends and has a great atmosphere and activities. A brilliant University.
At Strathclyde Uni, you are a true part of the vibrant and busy city centre of Glasgow, it is also excellently placed right in the beating heart of Glasgows nightlife and lifestyle facilities so there are no shortage of things to do in your free time. The student services are also amazing at Strathclyde and they will give you very good advice or step in with help where ever it may be needed.
Such a great university, could not fault it anywhere. All the staff are so helpful and there are no limit to the vast array of societies to appeal to everyone!
Enough clubs and societies for people of different interest. Good facilities. Wifi occasionally doesn't work and the union could be better.
The best University, very helpful staff providing support in every single area! A lot of opportunities and effective learning.
Great courses on offer with excellent teaching staff, perfect location with brilliant facilities and great career opportunities which students are made aware of from the beginning.
Everything is so slow at uni, service is horrible, no it support what so ever, in some courses tutors are unqualified. Don't want to mention the course but as an example - artist is teaching you biochemics.
The most disorganised, unprofessional, bordering on abusive environment I have ever had the misfortune to be in. The staff don't know what's going on, don't care if you have problems, and will pass the buck at any and every opportunity. I was bullied by my tutor and had two members of staff outright refuse to help me. The university will do nothing. Avoid this place like the plague pit that it is. ANY university is better.
Average, loads of cool cafes etc and facilities for learning are pretty modern and up to date, union is pretty poor and quite a lot of the time!
Internet is a struggle to log onto but once its set up its worthwhile and very fast, also has many great facilities however slight disadvantage is having the pool and gym/sports halls in seperate buildings.
Great campus atmosphere. Gardens throughout the campus act as social spaces in every break. Aditional services provided help the student life big time. Support and varied events throughout campus make for a great student experience.
Aye it's alrite
Great university! Amazing modern facilities
Overall enjoy time so far at Strathclyde, glad I chose this Uni.
Strathclyde is home for me and I cant imagine being anywhere else.
I love it here, especially with it being so close to the heart of Glasgow it's such a great place and I'm so glad I chose to come here
The in campus internet connectivity is poor. The university needs to replace the existing system of wifi so as to provide a better environment
One of the most beautiful, international, exciting and intellectual places I've ever been, and I'm so lucky to be able to study here, right next to the North Sea!
Strathclyde university was an amazing experience for me, from friends, to courses and experiences within them
Pretty unorganised, its July and I still don't know if I am able to get into 3rd year for Psychology. They have over prescribed the course and therefore not everyone can get through.
A great school of learning, full of opportunity!
Engineering department is extremely slow when returning grades for various assignments and class tests.
Great University,good facilities! Wide range of extra curricular activities also!
I absolutely love being here!
Great uni with an amazing campus. Need to get marks back quicker though! That's annoying. The societies are very well organised!
First year was great, achieved everything I set out to achieve!
At uni I have found the answers to life I have been looking for and learnt to learn more.
The university of Strathclyde as a community are great. They have everything you need to set you up for a prosperous career in your chosen field, and the means for you to enjoy yourself in the process.
In my opinion Strathclyde university is one of the best universities, they are always doing everything to make sure their students end up the best they can be.
Amazing multicultural university, challenging you to yourlimits and beyond!
Best choice for any student
I am starting my final year this year and Strathclyde has been a wonderful environment to learn and socialise in.
Staff have always been extremely attentive and helpful. Fellow students are friendly and down to earth. Library resources are fantastic. Wide range of courses.
Good University in a great city.
University has everything you will ever need during your time of study. With a great reputation and lots of support, Strathclyde is one of the most highly sought after university graduates.
im a part of the SIPBS institute within the university, the facilities and teaching staff are top notch.
strathclyde has exceptional facilities and student union.
Lovely city lovely people. The students are what make Strathclyde. Lecturers have been poor, half my classes end up being self taught. Some of them dont even want to be there. Really disappointed, very much a "you can get it online" attitude. Facilities are good.
brilliant uni and great facilities
I have loved my time at Strathclyde. The lectures are well organised and the university offers great clubs and societies. I feel supported financially I'm my uni. The library is brilliant too
Great uni. Great location. Great experience
The university is very well-established and well-kept. Library and Union alongside the teaching staff are probably the main factors in rating the facilities 5 star. I would say, however, the administration department can be very slow at times and many career opportunities are not adequately reported to students e.g. the email every night is not exactly proficient - a weekly update on jobs in relation to a student's course would be much more beneficial.
Thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Strathclyde, traditional-meets-modern teaching methods suit me perfectly.
Great atmosphere and people. Really good learning environment. Fantastic teaching staff.
Good uni, good teachers and great social life.
The best University in the world!
Fantastic uni, love every minute there
Great place to attend
Fantastic University with great people and opportunities
Great university with great buildings and people
Amazing location and teaching with great links to industry setting you up for a job even before you finish your degree
