What our students say
Evie Nichol
Everybody at Strathclyde has always been so open and welcoming, and there are so many different societies to choose from that it was easy to find something for me with people with whom I have things in common.
Grace Sherry
I believe that Strathclyde has taught not only the academic skills required for my future career but also the transferable soft skills. Throughout the course, there have been a variety of assessments, including report writing, group work, presentations, and exams. This has developed many skills which I believe will be transferable to the workplace.
Rachel Harnes
Strathclyde has given me so much throughout my undergraduate degree, and I can wholeheartedly say that I have taken everything that it has to offer. Strathclyde has helped shape not just my academic path, but my confidence and career direction.
