We’ve a strong community of international students and over half of students studying post-graduate taught degrees, come from overseas. Our students come from across Europe, Malaysia, India, China, Africa, the Middle East, USA, Canada and Brazil.
Here’s just some of the programmes we run for our international students:
Saudi Arabia
We have research agreements for PhD students with the following universities in Saudi Arabia:
- Princess Nora
- University King Abdulaziz

This allows female staff and students to complete Strathclyde PhDs without leaving their home institutions.

Others form strong links with the Department's research groups, providing important industrial partners on collaborative projects.
