Study Abroad
The University of Strathclyde
The University
of Strathclyde is located in the Scottish city of Glasgow -
Scotland's largest city. Strathclyde offers
a true city-life experience but is also within easy reach
of some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe in the
Scottish Highlands an hour away. The University welcomes
many students each year from over 90 countries who quickly
become part of the vibrant, cosmopolitan community. Strathclyde
was voted the UK's "Best University" in terms of the student
experience.
The
Business School is ranked in the top 1% of business schools
worldwide (#9 in the UK) and the only one in Scotland from the tree leading
accrediting bodies, including the AACSB. The traditional
four-year Scottish degree structure offers more flexibility
in choosing classes than at universities in the rest of
the UK.
Glasgow is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. Located on the west coast of Scotland, Glasgow provides ready access to the natural beauty of the Scottish countryside and is less than an hour away from many attractions including Edinburgh, Stirling, the Ayrshire Coast, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The city has been reborn as a center of style and vitality set against a backdrop of outstanding Victorian architecture. Glasgow boasts world famous art collections, the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London, and a vibrant nightlife.
Glasgow is the most Scottish of cities, with a unique blend of friendliness, urban chaos, black humor and energy. The varied and colorful social scenes ensure there is always something to do and places to go. It offers excellent art galleries and museums, as well as numerous good-value restaurants, countless pubs and bars and a rollicking arts scene. Glasgow, like most cities in the UK, has an excellent public transportation system including rail, bus and taxi. Glasgow has something for everyone!
