The University of Strathclyde's vision is bold and transformational: to become a leading international technological university.
At the heart of this vision is the University’s world-leading research across all faculties and particularly in its areas of strategic importance - engineering, science, business and social sciences.
As a research-led university, our strategy is focused on developing a high-quality research profile, ensuring that research informs our education programmes and is undertaken by all of our academic staff.

Our strategy is also concerned with embedding internationalisation across the university: we seek to develop higher quality programmes which deliver in the international arena, and build relationships and partnership working with leading, internationally focused organisations and institutions.
