Overview
Our Scottish University of the Year and runner-up for the UK University of the Year prize was founded as a ‘place of useful learning’ in 1796. Strathclyde strives to remain true to that mission more than 200 years later. It is the most socially inclusive of Scotland’s research-intensive universities and delivers courses, training and skilled graduates in areas of national and international shortage. It is one of the UK’s leading technological universities with a global reputation. Like its city neighbour, the University of Glasgow, Strathclyde is in the throes of a £1bn campus upgrade by 2025 to offer students cutting-edge facilities across all four of its faculties – engineering, humanities and social sciences, science, and the Strathclyde Business School. Business and industry are engaged across the institution in terms of course structure, content and delivery, as well as through multiple collaborations such as the new National Manufacturing Institute Scotland. Three hundred or so industry-sponsored scholarships are offered by the faculty of engineering. These are open to both new and continuing students and constitute one of the biggest engineering scholarship portfolios of any university, reflecting this key area of academic strength. With such strong anchoring in industry and manufacturing, it is no surprise that Strathclyde is one of the leading lights in the apprenticeships movement, with 14 programmes currently offered across Scotland and England. In Scotland, five graduate apprenticeship programmes involve about 650 learners and 160 employers, while there are eight degree apprenticeships (the equivalent of graduate apprenticeships in England) involving 80 students and 30 employers.

Paying the bills
With tuition free for the 90% of home students recruited from Scotland, the focus for scholarships and bursaries is inevitably on the 10% that come from the rest of the United Kingdom (RUK). Tuition fees for RUK students are capped at £27,750, the price of a three-year programme outside of Scotland, with the fourth year free (except for MPharm and integrated Masters students). Many students will not require that fourth year of study, however, as most students from outside Scotland are qualified to go straight into year two of a four-year degree programme. Three scholarships and bursaries can knock up to £5,000 off the cost of studying at Strathclyde for RUK students. The Strathclyde Access Bursary is worth £3,000 each year for students from homes where annual income is less than £25,000, dropping at higher incomes to £2,000 (£25,001-£35,000) and £1,000 (£35,001-£42,641). If students achieve AAB or better at A-level (or equivalent) they gain a £1,000 each year through a Strathclyde Excellence Scholarship. This award is not means-tested and neither is the Strathclyde Accommodation Bursary, which gives a £1,000 discount in the first year of study on costs for students living in university-owned rooms or those of a private provider to whom they have been referred. Accommodation starts at £4,300 per year for a 39-week contract and rises to £5,829 for a standard en-suite room.

What’s new?
The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland opened during the summer, offering facilities for students to engage with manufacturing processes. The Strathclyde-operated 11,500m2 development brings academia, industry and the public sector together to turn innovations into reality, deliver ground-breaking research to transform productivity and help make Scotland a global leader in manufacturing. The carbon neutral building features a manufacturing skills academy, collaboration hub and a digital factory. On campus, the recently opened learning and teaching building is one of the most important developments of recent years. Typical of modern university buildings, it combines first-class learning and teaching facilities with a hub for student support services, students’ union premises and the university’s doctoral school. With an accent on sustainability, the new operation was created out of two existing buildings on campus, the Colville Building and the Category B-listed Architecture Building. Further greening of the campus is under way with plans to improve the central campus green amenity space and improve provision for pedestrians, cyclists and electric vehicles.

Admissions, teaching and student support
Strathclyde recruits more students from Scotland’s most deprived postcodes than any other research-intensive university in Scotland. This is a consequence of an admissions policy that considers academic achievement in the context in which it was gained, and then translates that into a contextual offers scheme operating across all subjects and applying to students and schools in certain postcodes and children who have been in care. These students are likely to receive an offer in line with minimum entry requirements, which are at least one Higher grade below the standard offer. All students are supported on campus regardless of background, although those from widening participation backgrounds get priority in hardship funding and accommodation applications, for example. On mental health and wellbeing, Strathclyde offers weekday counselling appointments, a daily Zoom drop-in and phone and digital support at all times. All students are asked to provide at registration a named ‘wellbeing contact’ whom they consent to the university contacting if there are serious concerns about wellbeing. The university is stepping up its drive to create a safe campus for all. Formerly optional online training courses on gender-based violence and consent, and equality, diversity and inclusion for all students will be made compulsory for new and continuing students from this month. The modules are supplemented by regular awareness campaigns throughout the academic year. On-campus, in-person academic course delivery is the norm for all subjects, except for courses specifically developed as online or as work-based learning courses.
