With this method, courses are graded on the basis of their availability at the college in a particular country and universities are graded by the countries.

Moving forward, according to 'University Ranking' category of QS 2025, University of Strathclyde ranks #281, showing a downgrade from its previous ranking of #276 in 2024. University of Strathclyde also ranks #301 in THE 'University Ranking' category 2024.

MSc in Mechatronics & Automation - Batch of 2024

4.1

University of Strathclyde is a friendly university.

Tips: I had a smooth transition to the University of Strathclyde. I became more independent and experienced a cultural shift. To apply for the scholarship, I went to the scholarship site, and after a review by the committee, I was awarded the scholarship of 3000 pounds, which reduced my final tuition fees.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of options in Glasgow for Indian food. Even the locals are fans of Indian food, and many Indian restaurants have opened in recent years as the number of Indian students has increased. I prefer to cook at home, as eating out every day would be very expensive.

Dislikes (Value for money): For the number of offline classes, I don't think the tuition fee is justified and the course runs only for 8 months if you exclude holidays and exam time. I strongly believe a year course for the tuition fees charge is not at all justified. And also the labs and facilities are not up to the mark.

MSc Engineering Management for Process Excellence - Batch of 2025

4.1

University Of Strathclyde is a place for innovation and creativity.

Tips: Students coming to Glasgow need to be prepared mentally to stay a year without old friends and family. Once you reach the city, you start your life with new friends who sometimes turn out to be like family. Get in contact with the Indian Co-Coordinator and follow up with them for more and more scholarship offers. The city is really amazing, not too costly as London but still costly. The people in Glasgow are really friendly, and the UK has a good name in Education and they try their best to deliver the same. But the only thing is it's a bit expensive.

Likes (Student Life): The student life in Strath is simply amazing. We just need to attend the class attentively and we have tutorial sections for almost each and every module we take. In which the importance given to practical knowledge is more. At Strath University it's believed that the Practical is derived from Theory, So we have a good balance of both Practical and theory classes.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I don't think it's easy to get settled in the UK right now. No companies are offering sponsorship, and the job market doesn't look so good. The situation is similar in many other parts of the world. The best approach is to complete your studies with confidence and start searching for jobs as early as possible.

MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2023

3.1

A place of useful learning

Tips: Apart from the weather which is constantly rainy, the transition was pretty easy as there are so many Indian students. It is always easy when the roommates are from the same country. I did get a scholarship for my course and I recommend checking for it beforehand.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very approachable, knowledgeable and kind when it comes to Strathclyde. This is especially true for mechanical engineering professors. Every professor is ready and willing to give their time to students. The quality of faculty available is undoubtedly great.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are good opportunities for work after studies, however, the majority of them do not involve students from mechanical engineering. There are good opportunities for students in data science, business analytics and other management courses. However, this might also be because the UK was in recession when I graduated in 2023.

MSc Business Analysis & Consulting - Batch of 2024

4.4

It was worth studying at the University of Strathclyde.

Tips: If you come to a different country you will feel the culture change because of food, fashion, languages and other aspects. But no need to worry you will be very comfortable in a few days. I availed scholarship of 3000 before entering the UK but that was given to me by my agency. Many other people got scholarships of 10k GBP, if you feel you can write an essay about why you should get the scholarship and send it to the university and for this, you have to check the university page. Overall, I am totally satisfied with my university and course.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is easily accessible and you can approach them if you want to discuss anything regarding your study in university. Most modules are taught on slides. To pass a degree, you have to clear your exams and assignments. There are faculty from different nationalities.

Dislikes (Part time work): I am not very much aware of university part-time opportunities and part-time is not always available in the university. But you can get part-time outside the university and a minimum pay rate which is set by the UK government. The most important and a little difficult task is to manage a part-time job with your regular classes. It gets a little hectic when you are working simultaneously on multiple assignments and regular classes and part-time simultaneously.

The public transportation facility is good however finding accommodation is tough.

Tips: Some courses have scholarships that students can apply for. Getting accommodation is quite difficult, so I would recommend trying to get accommodation as soon as possible. The university is pretty good and I think most people would enjoy it. The course is tedious at times but I never really found it that difficult.

Likes (Public transportation): There are 2 train systems that link all of Glasgow, and they both have stations within 5 minutes of the university buildings. Ticket costs are dependent on distance, but should max out at around 2 or 3 pounds. Train passes are very affordable and save you a ton of money if you constantly use the trains. Students can also avail of the numerous city buses depending on what works for them best.

Dislikes (Internships): There is a careers service at the university but they are more specialized in helping students improve their resume and work on their employability in general. Students need to look for relevant internships on their own, and the university will not go out of their way to help you in the application process.

University has good professor who are willing to help.

Tips: Students need to think about what course, university, or professor would look good on their resume. University also provides a good amount of scholarship like I got a scholarship for 310000. Also, try to start your course in the September intake which will give me more exposure to students.
