What is University Clearing?

Clearing is the process where you can apply for undergraduate courses that still have places available. Applicants contact us directly to see if we’ll accept them. 

Strathclyde welcomes international students from over 100 countries. We're looking forward to assisting you through the application process on to your desired undergraduate course, and supporting you throughout your degree and beyond.

Physics with teaching

It’s right in the heart of Glasgow, always plenty to do within the city as well as being a short distance from the Trossachs! It has a very welcoming atmosphere from the first day, there are a lot of clubs and societies to choose from.

Marketing

There is always something going on in Glasgow, whether it’s gigs, pub crawls or even late nights in the library; there’s plenty to do. I didn’t know anyone on the business course at first and found the class size to be a little daunting, but Strathclyde offers many opportunities to meet people and share these experiences with.
