Humanities & Social Sciences Graduate School

I’ve benefitted from accessing the wealth of support available both at Strathclyde and externally. My supervisors have been wonderfully understanding about the challenges of completing a PhD and have given me the flexibility and encouragement I’ve needed to keep going.

The campus has always felt like a second home to me, while both the academic and administrative staff really are a remarkably attentive and supportive group of people - something I have found true across the university in general.

The School of Government and Public Policy (GPP) follows an excellent interdisciplinary approach of combining ideas and practical knowledge through real world engagement. It has an impressive setup with different Centres functioning in collaboration which allows one to explore ones research skills, learn and act to ones capabilities which definitely enhances the overall experience.

Honestly, I love that the Strathclyde research community is generous when it comes to sharing knowledge. People are always happy to help and suggest/advice on where to find what you’re looking for.

I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to choose my supervisors, so I chose the best! They have been a source of intellectual inspiration as well as giving fantastic guidance, advice, and support whenever needed. It is rare to find people in academia that let your ideas flourish and your voice be heard - I have been very lucky to find supervisors who possess all these traits.
