Our students
Sarah Fairley
LLB Law (Graduate Entry)
I did a lot of research on all of the Universities who offered the LLB course and Strathclyde was always the one that stuck out for me from the outset. They have a fantastic reputation, the lecturers are all highly acclaimed within their specialist fields and they also provide an award winning legal clinic of which I am a member.
Hannah Simpson
BSc Speech & Language Therapy
I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work in outpatient clinics with both adults and children on placement. Clinical placements are one of my favourite parts of the course because you get hands-on experience of what it is like to be a Speech and Language Therapist.
Gihad al-Jabri
BA Education & TESOL
The placement is one of the experiences that I will never forget. It provided me with the opportunity to put theories into practice, and to become more involved with all aspects of teaching including planning, preparing materials, teaching, and evaluating learning experiences
