Due to Covid, I never got the opportunity to experience most of the facilities of uni so hard to leave a review
University of Strathclyde is a high quality university with nice campus and location :)
Due to the current pandemic situation, unfortunately I have not managed to physically attend classes at Strathclyde, however I have continued to study from the Andersonian library which is extremely clean and quiet and helped me a lot with my studies.
Good school best for engineering and business
Depends on what you are looking for I guess, student union is mainly for undergraduates really! Career services sucks!! Anything other than that is pretty good.
Great campus and is very close to city centre only a short walk from Buchanan street.
I would recommend anyone to join my university. Tutors, facilities, location and people everything is great.
Great university with campus, facilities, clubs and societies.
Strathclyde has been tightly regulated during the pandemic and has allowed us to get into the University and still work but also feel safe. The University has been supportive with all students. One part in particular was over the Christmas period when students couldn’t go home and for students who didn’t celebrate Christmas. There were Zoom calls arranged so people could still meet up and interact with one another. Student union score is only low due to a new one being built and not having access to the old one. I am sure the new one will be great.
Great university! Really enjoyed
Havent been face to face yet so not sure
Such a nice place for studying
Campus needs improvement. Internet is very weak in several areas around the campus. Careers service and students union are on point and provide amazing contributions.
All around very supportive with great staff, lovely people, and a students union that really tries to help you out and do its best to assist you, from policy to nights out, to making friends.
So good absolutely love it here such a great atmosphere big Jim take my money
Lovely people at the uni, some issues this year with classes due to covid but this was responded to in the proper manner.
I love Strathy to the moon and back!
My University experience thus far has been extremely enjoyable, and I look forward to being able to access the campus next year
Staff and lectures are always happy to help. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I have enjoyed my postgraduate studies in the university. It’s really a great university. Its library was affording place to study. I learnt many skills, during my study. Student union is quite welcoming to give support within our study period.
University of Strathclyde is undoubtedly one of the best universities of the UK.
Great campus and great student support
Remote learning is difficult but there is a great support network on hand to de-stress.
I didn’t have the chance to see it because of COVID-19.
Strathclyde is undoubtedly a prestigious institute, with a l'il room for improvement.
I only studied online. I have never study on campus yet.
This is my second year at Strathclyde and it has been a blast and a challenge. Amidst the pandemic the uni has done their best to keep us informed about proceedings. Although we were kind of promised some type of online - on campus blended learning, most if not all was online. The services at the university have splendid and the union is the best in the Uk. They helped through the toughest of times in my life with being kicked out of my house. They provided me advice, finance and all sorts to make sure I was having the chance to study my degree at Strathclyde. So I can’t give them no less than a 5 star if I could give more I would. During the few times I was able to go in to an actual on campus lab class, the rules and regulations have been very clear and concise and the staff members did a great job of having us follow those rules. And those classes have been the best part of this academic year where I was able to see fellow students(also lecturers) and actually talk to them in person
Good social life and good campus. Course organised
Classes are well organized. Facilities are well improved
Good University but resources that are available to certain faculties are restricted.
The University of Strathclyde has a fantastic modern campus, faculty members are very helpful and accomodating, the practical experience I have received from my course (B.B.A) is definitely going to help me in the future.
Great university that is supporting students even after they graduate (through career services). Knowledgeable and friendly lecturers and staff. Great facilities. This includes the library and the library's website, the gym, and other buildings. I am having a good experience overall.
Have only been online so far at Strathclyde, but the online facilities are great!
I cant fully review it because haven't been to campus due to COVID. So this review is based on the two months I did study on-campus last year
University of Strathclyde offers many opportunities to make new friends thanks to the big number of events organised by the Strath Union and a lovely campus located exactly in the heart of city centre!
I did not have a chance to use the facilities in my university often. However, there are many activities you can join, e.g. gym or clubs or the place to hang out with your friends if you are interested.
I love my school, even though I haven't been in the classroom once.
The teaching environment at Strathclyde was very good and the tutors were very kind and answered my emails promptly. The location of the university is excellent, in the centre of Gera, which makes it easy to shop and get around.
Campus buildings are all very close together but union isnt great
You'll find us in the heart of Glasgow's city centre where we're surrounded by supermarkets to suit all tastes, we have an abundance of high street stores along with loads of great little thrift stores, second-hand shops and boutiques, restaurants for every cuisine, clubs, theatres, museums - you name it, we have it. But you'll discover all that when you come to visit us! In the meantime, take a look at our campus.
Amazing buildings and campuses
Strath has given me lots of opportunities on my course
Very good university and helpful staff
Great Uni, enjoying the time here, I suggest it to uni international student willing to study in Scotland
Was super excited to start, but it’s a decent uni overall.
The campus was very difficult to get to and the facilities were not conducive to lectures and work.
I believe the communication between staff and students could be improved and more activities could be put on to make all students (halls and commuting) feel more like part of a community. A lot of events occur from which commuting students miss out due to not hearing about them or them simply being at super inconvenient times
We have booked the trip to this school with a group and made prepayment . Because of covid 18 our trip was canceled but we still havent got the money back. Noone answers the emails
Just a for-profit organisation who takes your money for almost everything possible and does nothing. LAZIEST lecturers you’ll ever come across. Lecturers doesn’t care whether students are fine. They do things to their convenient. Turn up late for lectures, take more than 1 or 2 months to grade your assignments, does NOT respond to emails, does not even show up in class to teach but hires a bunch of PhD tutors to be present to answer questions from the VIDEO lectures. If you’re going to watch videos, don’t bother paying crazy tuition fees. Quality of teaching is really bad. The stuff taught is mediocre or worse. They gave everyone great results to make it seem like the students are smart and teachers taught well. But no, teachers are tragic at their job hence the quality of students. Really regretted choosing strathclyde.
Great uni, having a lot of fun studying here
So glad I picked here, everyone is friendly and I enjoy going!
I really like the university, it is super new and very well valorated
Strathclyde is located all on one campus which, meaning you don't need to trek anywhere too far when getting to different lectures
Great place to study when open
Riverside is not really far from University of Strathclyde as the accommodation is only 20min walk far from my university.
teaching quality is ok sometimes there's no point of going to lectures because there are some lecturers that just reads whats on powerpoint and talking nonsense. some lectures are not very helpful , however my fave lecturer is Toni HUMAN resources lecturer as he tells you all the information you need to know as a student,hes very focused on his students succeeding , he's very passionate with what he do as you get some teachers who are doing just their job and all they care is money. some can be rude swell! I once spoke to the head of business wanting to change my course into international business and she said to me I cannot do it as its full I meant were talking about my future here it is what im passionate about and one student cant harm lecturers it won't make a big difference . I always believe these staffs only wants the best for students the fact that were paying so much and yet we cannot even study what we would like to study!! STUDYING BUSINESS AT STRATHCLYDE IS EXHAUSTING
needs refurbishing as mostly all their buildings are old
The buildings are not modern very old needs renovating ,
Internet is spread all over the campus. There is a individualised attention for each student.
I had a great time at the University of Strathclyde Business School. Unfortunately my presence is over due to the current Covid-crisis, but the crisis management of the university was very good and supportive. I'm a MSc Financial Technology student and was impressed by the very good and practice-oriented lecturers. I had previously studied at one of the best universities on the European mainland, but not at a business school, and finally decided to do this unique master program at an institution that is dedicated to teaching practical knowledge. This was actually implemented and I feel very well prepared for a later career, especially in management consulting or investment banking. What was negative here was the career service, other universities manage this better and I often travelled to Oxbridge to attend networking events. This is made up for by the many societies and the outstanding social life on and off campus. In summary, I can clearly recommend the Business School!
It's a good university. I love it. I have been study in this University 5 years.
not recommend caus problem is not solved
Amazing , best uni there is. Would 100% recommend to anyone. The student uni and really helpful and always happy to help
It's a great learning experience. I love it.The teacher is very good.
I have good experience on campus. Very good university, most of the professors are friendly.
Internet really bad but career serive good and helpfull. Campus nothing special
The facilities and the courses are alright. But I personally think the MSc course is really stressful because I find myself 'carrying' the team in group assignments because we can't choose our own groups. It makes me frustrated because some of the groupmates I have are not lazy, but they genuinely don't know how to do the work. So I ended up correcting everything they wrote, and it became an individual work. This is a problem especially I am a person who is trying to get an 'honour' for my studies.
It is a great university located in the center of the city! I just love Glasgow because of this university
I absolutely love this place and there's no other place I'd rather live. Helena, Jerry, Dave, Scott and Melissa they are the best people I've met and they take such amazing care of me! I feel right at home because of these warm hearted people♥️ Coming to the rooms, they are really good. I wished I had chosen a silver or gold room but nevertheless, bronze is equally great! The common area is vast and so great for house parties. They even have a meeting room which comes handy all the time! Choosing merchant studios was one of the best decisions I've made and I'm gonna miss this place a lot once I leave it just because of the above mentioned people. All love to merchant studios and I wish them all the luck!♥️♥️
Strathclyde is a good university, with remarkable professors and facilities. The campus is in the city centre of the city, which makes easy to access from different locations and there are always activities to do near to it.
Strathclyde is the top university for biomedical engineering, I cannot be more happy.
Nice to students and good facilities for us to use and study for
I study in the greatest business school (University of Strathclyde) in Scotland.
Love the uni. Absolutely. People make Glasgow, strathclyders make Strathclyde.
Good but could have more Uni student study space when not in lectures.
One of the best universities in Scotland offering you great career prospects.
I think the campus needs a bit of work. Unlike other universities it’s not that great. However, the reputation Of the university is excellent.
Good university with good services
Best University for business studies
Amazing - currently studying BioMed and facilities and lectures are so informative
Overall, the uni is not great. They're investing a lot in new campus buildings, but not in the staff or in the programmes. For example, the library often does not have any of the texts I need for class, but they have brand-new TV screens on the main floor. The new sports centre is great, but some of my lecturers are so over-worked that they often don't respond to emails or aren't available to meet. Strathclyde likes to pretend they are up there with Glasgow and Edinburgh, but the truth is that most students here are not motivated (a big problem with group projects) and employers don't look favourably on the uni as a whole (business and engineering is different, but if you've got the grades for those programmes, why not go to a uni that is actually good overall with a great reputation?). If you can get in somewhere better, don't waste your time here.
Very good university for business and chemistry.
Im doing a Physics Bsc and Ive enjoyed my course so far, the teaching is generally good and there is good study material online. Some university buildings are nicer than others, but overall it's been a good experience so far.
The University of Strathclyde is located in the downtown,and here's environment and history is enough time to understand and find out beautiful sense.
it is a good uni with good teaching and good services an
strathclyde is considered one of the top universities in scotland which i highly recommend
University was my best experience so far
it is the best UNI and it has the best stafF
its alright l guess but it has the best business school in glasgow
I don't know anything about clubs and societies .
Going to University of Strathclyde by walk takes 23 mins but if you wake up late, you can just take the train from Charing Cross train station which is 2 mins away from the Accommodation and by 15 mins max you’re in class
There are so many societies to choose from! People are always willing to help.
Excellent faculty and good swimming pool! The school staff is also very helpful
They have built new gym and swimming pool.
The University of Strathclyde is overall a great university. In my opinion, the overall structure and facilities could be better.
Eduroam sucks, everything else is okay!
i loved the campus and the city
Great place for socially Learning with the union and the university staff a real highlight and credit to Strathclyde.
Most facilities are new or really well kept. The societies are various and interesting so that everyone is able to find something interesting. The only problem is the Wi-Fi... even though I managed to use it I couldn't use the official one and just logged in as a guest (this only with my laptop... my smartphone worked just fine)
Even though the building are not always brand new, the services are great!
