Sort:Latest reviewsThe support is very good and I never feel as if I cannot approach the staff when I have issues either with coursework or personal. The union is always busy, it is a good place to sit with friends between classes
This university has great facilities and the campus is easy to get around

The university of Strathclyde is located right in the city centre, this means you have easy access to places such as cafes, pubs and shops. This ALSO means you get to walk to most clubs for nights out! The union is one of the best ones in my opinion. Main complaint is the hills that you have to climb for lectures! You’ll have to get used to that… some of the buildings that are part of Strathclyde look old and abandoned, but the murals make up for it to be honest. Overall, Strathclyde is a very modern, supportive and social university!

The Strath union is amazing, quite fun to visit even on a normal weekday. The location is up on a hill so yeah includes tough walking along with the winds. The campus is nice not very attractive though as compared to other universities in and around Glasgow
The campus feels disconnected; there’s no crossing of students doing different careers even when in the same general group. That said; the lecturers are very good at explaining things clearly (except for one or two exceptions) and the location of the campus allows students to experience the city center easily.
Strathclyde has a very warm and welcoming feel. Canadian students will feel right at home, as there are many parallels between Scottish and Canadian culture. The university is located right next to downtown, which means there is plenty of opportunity to explore the cafes, pubs, shops, and beautiful buildings near campus.
Great location, however library is always freezing
The location is handy. The buildings aren't the best to look at but the uni has a good feel to it. The union is nice but a bit pricey.
Best experiences: - courses are well structured with lots of opportunities to give feedback on how they are delivered and lecturers actually listen making you feel heard. - the student union is great with lots of events and opportunities to get involved. - there are so many societies for everyone. - the study spaces are amazing and there is so many locations to choose from. Negative experiences: - there aren’t many, however the food and drinks in the cafe’s throughout the uni are too expensive considering everyone buying are students with limited money.
the best aspects of university experience has to be the personal and professional growth i’ve seen in me. additionally, the relationships i’ve built here with my fellow batchmates and people around has taught me a lot which makes it a rich and fulfilling experience. along with that worst has to be academic pressure, financial situations and balancing other stuff.also being an international student dealing with homesickness and the weather here is also quite challenging.
Facilities & Support for students outside of class is impeccable eg Advice Hub, Library, Gym, Disability & Wellbeing Service

The best part about is how hands on the professors are especially during technical skills. Sad thing is that the grading system is kind of low for me so that was a big adjustment for me.
Easy to get to

Various study rooms and spaces for students to study. Makes it a lot easier to come into university during exam period. However could definitely have more spaces as sometimes there are never any study areas in the afternoon
The students here are great and the university itself is great as well. I have enjoyed the societies I have joined and met great people. I also like the choices we have in terms of locations for studying and cafes/restaurants within the university.

no seats
Best aspects is the location of the uni and also the facilities such as the gym which also has free classes and the library and the worst aspects is the Union prices for food and drink, they are expensive for a student place
4.5
You get a choice of activities to do with new people, which is a great way of making new friends The lectures are very supportive and give many options for help if you need it
In class learning for all my lectures, just wish they give more notice if class is cancelled so people who commute can organise their travels, apart from that the course is going smoothly and a lot of learning is done
