The University of Strathclyde

The University was established in 1796 as 'the place of useful learning' and this remains our mission today: to combine academic excellence with social and economic relevance.

As 'the place of useful learning' the University is committed to the advancement of society through the pursuit of excellence in research, education and knowledge exchange, and through creative engagement with partner organisations at local, national and international levels.

We are committed to providing a high-quality education and experience to all students, regardless of their background. Inspiring them to develop to their full potential, producing outstanding professional and enterprising people for industry, business and the professions.

Our student experience is at the heart of everything we do. The University is making strategic investment that aims to underpin our goal of providing high-quality, research-led education and an excellent student experience. The University aims to provide its students with excellent and innovative teaching, learning technologies and facilities.

We also aim to expand the opportunities for dialogue, and provide students with the opportunity to influence our 'direction of travel' as we work together towards achieving our vision of being an international technological university.

We are investing in academic programmes that reflect a positive, creative and innovative approach and that position us at the forefront of teaching and learning within and across disciplines. The University is also encouraging its students to play an active role in the dialogue about our strategy and vision for the future.
