The University of Strathclyde https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAeUkUGDbU8 The University of Strathclyde campus is situated in the heart of Glasgow, only 10 minutes’ walk from Glasgow Queen Street and Buchannan bus station. This means it is really easy to get to and from the University if you want to go back home, travel around Scotland or go further afield. The University was founded in 1796 by John Anderson. There are about 15000 undergraduate students at the University making it the 3rd biggest in Scotland (behind Edinburgh and Glasgow). It has a gender mix of 52% female and 48% male although some courses can be skewed one way or the other. The University was awarded the Times Higher Education ‘University of the Year’ award for the second time in 2019 (previously won in 2012). We also won the award for Widening Participation or Outreach Initiative of the Year for our Breaking Barriers initiative which helps young people with a learning disability gain university qualification and work experience. Strathclyde was also named the Sunday Times Good University Guide Scottish University of the year and received the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for excellence in energy innovation. The University of Strathclyde has a wide range of courses on offer which are split into 4 faculties: Strathclyde Business School, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.
