Our People
I hope to continue my education and earn my doctorate and eventually have a career in Research and Development or possibly a teaching post at a university. I am currently, however, looking for a job either in Europe or the UK, and ideally I would like a position here in Glasgow!
Lucy Morton, MSc Neuroscience & Mental Health
My undergraduate degree was also at Strathclyde, and I loved the atmosphere, inclusivity, and general buzz here. It offers everything extensive academic resources, clubs, sports clubs, and is located in Glasgow’s city centre.
Jianhong Yao, MSc Information Management
Through my studies at Strathclyde, I was able to acquire the basic knowledge required to become a Data Analyst, including SQL, python, machine learning and deep learning, business analytics and project management methods.
Ross McWilliam, MMath Mathematics & Statistics
The thing I have liked most about my course is the people (students and lecturers) that I have met and got to know over the past five years. I’ve learned a lot of new things – about Maths and myself. I’ve made friends for life. I’ve had the best five years and at the end of the day, I’ve got a good degree!
Wethaka Wannatawee, MSc Information Management
In the future I would like to work as an Analyst which requires many skills relating to data analysis, information management, and business. The course covered them all, and it enhanced my skills a lot through both individual and group tasks.
Fraser Gunn, MChem Chemistry
The industrial placement year was invaluable as it allowed me to grow in confidence and also improved upon my understanding of chemistry both in the real world and in research.
Ivana Vujovic, MSc Applied Statistics in Health Sciences
I'd like to work as a Statistician in health science, possibly through a PhD. I’d also like to apply the knowledge I've gained to areas of statistically based civic observation of elections, as well as within independent research of social and health policies, with a goal to advocate for scaling up of their quality.
Luke Campbell, BSc Mathematics with Teaching
The university is a really diverse setting with lots of different backgrounds, which makes it a great place to learn. Improvements to campus have been made such as the new learning and teaching building along with the new students union. Overall, Strathclyde is a great place to learn, eat, and socialise as the facilities are endless.
Kirsty Tinto, BSc Immunology & Pharmacology
Studying at Strathclyde has allowed me to gain a portfolio of skills due to the varied kinds of activities which are integrated into the degree courses including group tasks, individual tasks, reports, essays, case study and problem-solving exercises. In particular, my confidence has flourished through working on group tasks with my peers.
Amy Sheridan, MSc Forensic Science
The crime scene to court exercise which was run throughout semester 1 and 2 was brilliant. We were able to go to the playing fields to examine a mock crime scene and then present our findings at a mock trial with the law students.
Opeoluwa Oladele, MSc Advanced Biochemistry
I love the variety of my course and how I can learn different aspects. The lecturers are very understanding and kind and I also love the lab at Strathclyde. To anyone thinking of coming to study in Glasgow at Strathclyde, I would say definitely do it. It is nice to explore a new city and move out of your comfort zone.
Ahmad Alkhafili, MPharm Pharmacy
Glasgow is a perfect city for studying because it has everything the student needs from restaurants, cafes and shopping. Overall, it is a diverse city and the people here are friendly which helps in the process of adjusting to a new place, as the saying goes “people make Glasgow”.
I have always been interested in medicine and the development of new drugs, so the Chemistry with Drug Discovery programme seemed like the perfect course to further explore this interest. Additionally, the MChem program offers a paid industrial placement year which will be an amazing opportunity to learn new things and see what it’s like to work in industry.
