Strathclyde is well-recognised for its global outlook and the diverse, international make up of our student and staff communities.
Staff will be aware of the outcome of the referendum and the UK's decision to leave the EU.
Our focus is to ensure we continue to offer an environment that is international in outlook, well-funded, and an attractive destination for talented staff from across Europe and beyond.
All of our staff are very important to us and we look forward to welcoming many more from across the globe in the future.
