We're a leading international technological University located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland's biggest city. Our commitment to useful learning guides our research, our learning and teaching and the way we work with businesses and organisations.
Our buildings & facilities reflect our technological status.
At our flagship Technology & Innovation Centre we’re transforming the way academics work with business, industry and the public sector. It recently secured success in three prestigious national award schemes – it’s been nominated for the British Council for Offices innovation trophy, given a commendation award at the 2016 Civic Trust Awards and received an Honourable Mention in the 2016 ISPE Facility of the Year Awards.
The Technology & Innovation Centre brings together multidisciplinary teams to combine strengths in engineering, science, business, humanities and the social sciences. The benefits of working closely with industry are already being delivered to enhance student experience through:
Strathclyde is a triple accredited business school, holding accreditation from the international bodies, AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS.
The Business School has undergone a £23.2 million transformation to locate all departments in a single business quarter and provide state-of-the-art teaching facilities. The major refurbishment includes two new 100-seat lecture theatres, tutorial rooms for up to 40 people and smaller break-out rooms. There’s also ‘hot-desking’ booths, a common room for MBA students, and a 140 open-plan workstations for PhD students. The open plan space for PhD students has been carefully planned out to optimise research links and connections amongst our highly international PhD population.
Our Department of Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management (DMEM) was refurbished in 2014 and is well equipped with state-of-the-art tools to help design, prototype, manufacture and perform research on a broad range of items. We have one of the UK’s only digital design suites to combine virtual & physical design & prototyping.

In Biomedical Engineering we have a unique breadth of specialist facilities with capabilities in device design and associated modelling, prototyping, materials testing and in-vitro and ex-vivo testing. Our facilities are some of the best in Scotland and across Europe and include a large dedicated motion analysis laboratory (140 square metres) with integrated Vicon Nexus system and multi-axis Kistler Force Platforms.
