Sort:Latest reviewsI've not had many bad experiences. The only thing would be that not all lecturers can teach very well, and we get no feedback/practice tests to see what level we are at.
It is a great learning environment with many modern and innovative buildings throughout the campus. I personally have found strathclyde to help me develop my skills in not only my degree subjects but so too with my confidence, communication and interpersonal skills. If i was to improve strathclyde i would say they could make the union bigger and expand services such as cafes and restaurants throughout the campus.
The atmosphere at this university is great! The union is always lively, with pool and darts, hot food, music and lots of room for socialising. Even when in class it feels great, the lectures are always informative and the seminars mean that the tutors can really help and talk to the students. I like the fact that each semester the students can choose their own seminar times, creating a timetable that suits their schedule. The location of this university is one of my favourite things, such a close walk to the main shopping street and some great places for food. Also close to to GCU which is great as the students can mix and hang out together. Overall this university is a great place to apply and i am very happy with the decision i made!
The uni has an abundance of bathrooms but they need to be cleaned more often as many students seem yo leave them in a horrific state. The campus is in a prime location where you are never far from anyplace you may need to go, especially for those staying on campus. I think the gym should be open later at night as some people are in from 9-5 and by the time they are done and hava had dinner and caught up in work there isn’t enough time for them to also have the opportunity to use the facilities.
The diploma and overall academic quality are strong, and the lecturers are knowledgeable and supportive. The campus location is excellent and very convenient, especially in terms of transport and access to the city. One area that could be improved is student life. Compared to my university experience in Turkey, students here tend to spend less time on campus outside of classes, so the social atmosphere feels a bit quieter. Organising more campus events, such as festivals, concerts, or regular social activities, could really help make student life more vibrant and engaging.
The University of Strathclyde is my exchange host university, and they have been overwhelmingly helpful with the feeling and sense that I belong at this school even while being so far from my home. The professors have engaging and thoughtful lectures, while asking students to practice critical thinking which in the world of AI is dwindling. Some areas where the university may seek improvements are related to the exchange coordinators for my program. At times it was very difficult to reach them and I was without a class schedule until the first week of lectures began. Only recently, about three weeks into classes, was I able to get my schedule sorted due to poor communication and email being the only form of seeking help.
It’s such a big campus with many buildings around the central but if the city which is nice, there’s a range of courses and activities hosted, making it quite engaging for students. I wish classes were not set in one building only, and wish the classes were upgraded; the rooms feel so stuffy and are clearly old, it feels like the uni only cares for the business school side, were other courses use old facilities.
Great facilities but not very accurate with flatmate compatibility questionare
Best: Nice campus Good lecturers Worst: Some buildings are very unloved and need TLC (Livvy tower)
Its fine
Being in central Glasgow, makes it feel so lively
The University of Strathclyde does so much to make sure that their students have the most academically and socially fulfilling time throughout university. Not only are the facilities located perfectly in the centre of town, but they are all brand new. The Strath Sport building boasts several large gym halls, a newly renovated gym, Squash courts, Badminton courts, Dance Studio, Swimming Pool, and a sauna. The library and students union have plenty of spaces for students to enjoy quiet study time. The university also has a huge array of clubs and societies that any student at the university can join. They host welcome fairs and sports fairs to encourage new students to come along. In terms of staff, my lecturers are all extremely respondent and helpful. Staff go out of their way to check up on students and aid them to the best of their ability.
A fitness facility membership ( which includes access to the gym, pool, sauna/steamroom, and a wide array of classes) is included with the student accommodation, which has helped my mental health a lot this semester. For one of my classes, the entire reading list was given to us for free (five novels)! Student Union events have been pretty fun and becoming a member of the Erasmus Student Network gets you a lot of discounts. My professors have all been very knowledgeable in their subject areas and have a good understanding of effective andragogy. I will say that during my first week here, there was some difficulty with my online registration which was frustrating to get resolved as responses over email from student support took a long time. Eventually it all got sorted though. I also do not like the StrathApp much; it often crashes but you need it as your student card/library card etc.
The best aspects, well there is a lot of good things to say about my uni experience but I guess for the best I’ll have to go with the inclusivity in events happening around campus. You can join any event without feeling left out and as for the worst aspect, climbing up the long hill takes the cake, in semester two and still can’t get used to it, especially at a 9am lecture, huffing and panting in class.
Its definitely an amazing uni with great facilities and student life
Strathclyde is very welcoming and always open to everyone. I wish the university library was open 24/7 during full term
The best aspect of my university experience at the University of Strathclyde is how practical and industry focused the teaching is. The university truly lives up to its reputation as a place of useful learning. Many modules are clearly designed with real engineering and industry applications in mind rather than being purely theoretical. Lecturers often relate concepts to real world examples current industry practices or ongoing research which makes learning feel relevant and engaging. Most lecturers and tutors are approachable and supportive and are willing to help outside of class which creates a positive learning environment. The campus is also centrally located and compact which makes it convenient to get around and helps build a strong sense of community among students. Another strong aspect of Strathclyde is the quality of its facilities and student support. Libraries laboratories and study spaces are well maintained and suitable for both individual and group work. There is also strong emphasis on employability with good access to careers support internships and industry engagement opportunities which is especially valuable for students planning to enter the workforce after graduation. An area that could be improved is the intensity of the workload in some courses. During certain periods multiple assessments from different modules tend to overlap which can be stressful and challenging to manage. Better coordination of deadlines across modules could help students balance their workload more effectively. In addition while teaching quality is generally high there can be some inconsistency between modules. Some lectures are very well structured and engaging while others rely more heavily on independent learning with less guidance which may be difficult for some students. Overall the University of Strathclyde is a great place to study particularly for students who value practical learning strong industry links and a supportive academic environment. With improved coordination of assessments and more consistency in teaching delivery the student experience could be even better. My overall experience has been positive and rewarding and I would recommend Strathclyde to students looking for a practical and career focused education in a vibrant city.
Best Aspects: The best part of studying at University of Strathclyde Business School has been the strong focus on practical, career-ready learning. The coursework links theory directly to real business problems through group projects, case studies, and presentations, which has helped me build confidence, teamwork skills, and commercial awareness. The Careers Service and employer engagement are also standout, with workshops, networking events, and internships that genuinely support students in preparing for competitive industries. The campus location in Glasgow is another big plus, making it easy to balance academic life with work opportunities and student activities. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: At times, deadlines across different modules can cluster together, which makes workload management challenging during peak periods. I also think there could be more consistency across modules in terms of assessment guidance and feedback timelines. Improving coordination between departments and offering even more structured support for first- and second-year students exploring career paths would make the experience even stronger.

Very lively crowd & people. Very friendly.
Teaching style of all lectures are unique in it's self
Lifts is a main issue. It acts up pretty weird most of the times.
