This course provides insights from managerial, design, engineering, and financing perspectives. It equips students for multifaceted roles in the construction industry.

Field trip opportunities allow us to witness theory in practice at local construction sites. These experiences bridge the gap between theory and practice, enriching the learning journey.

Furthermore, the course frequently hosts external speakers who bring real-world experiences into the classroom, offering invaluable insights and preparing us for dynamic industry challenges.

This degree celebrates the field of Genealogy while combining strong historical training with flexible learning. It gave me the tools to connect my personal interests in childhood history as well as traditional and genetic genealogy, while learning more about rigorous and professional historical research methods.

The MSc in Health & Social Policy provided a structured academic program to explore important health and social equity challenges that are often undertaught in medical education.

Since joining the MSW programme, I have learned to apply critical and reflective thinking to complex social issues. I have developed stronger communication and assessment skills, become more confident in working with diverse service users, and deepened my understanding of safeguarding, ethics, and trauma-inforced practice.

What were your reasons for taking on a postgraduate degree?

First of all, I would like to emphasise that my passion for research and desire to learn has led me to constantly work and seek out opportunities for professional growth. But what made me want to further my studies in the health field was the death of my father as a result of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). I think that this period has affected almost all of us, both socially and economically.

How did you make the decision to study at Strathclyde?

I decided to continue my studies at the University of Strathclyde after I had done some research about the opportunities offered by universities in the UK. I discovered that Strathclyde stands out for new teaching methods that are applicable in the field of mathematics and statistics. Also, the integration of the subject with the demands of the market makes this programme competitive and successful.

What do you like about your course and Strathclyde?

I really like the methodology that the academic staff have chosen to develop the course. This knowledge is combined with technological developments, which makes the course valuable, necessary, and extremely interesting and challenging for each of the students.

What specialist knowledge/professional skills have you developed whilst studying the course?

Because I come from the field of academia, and since I had done a previous masters and doctorate, I thought that I might not benefit much. But this programme focuses a lot on the way of conducting an experimental study, which is very important to a wide community of researchers as they can use this methodology to solve problems and practices that emerge during their research work.

What are your ambitions for the future and how do you think your time at Strathclyde will help you achieve your goals?

I want to open my own company in the future which will serve to connect the fields of statistics and health, producing health results with minimum cost. I think that I now have all the right managerial, economic and statistical knowledge and skills to operate in the health sector. To implement this idea, I have contacted the staff at Strathclyde Inspire and I hope that this initiative will be successful.

How did you make the decision to study at Strathclyde?

Strathclyde is ranked 1st for pharmacology and pharmacy in the UK (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023) and has continually displayed meticulous research work in terms of drug discovery and pharmacological innovation.

Strathclyde is indeed a place of useful learning! I love how everything taught in the classroom has a real-life purpose. A factor to consider when talking about things to love about Strathclyde is their exceptional career service. They offer unconditional support for all problems someone may encounter while searching for jobs and PhD positions.


What specialist knowledge/professional skills have you developed whilst studying the course?

I have gained expertise in laboratory procedures, as well as developed skills in scientific writing, critical analysis of literature and statistical analysis. What else can a scientist ask for?


What are your ambitions for the future and how do you think your time at Strathclyde will help you achieve your goals?

I want to pursue a PhD and I know the skills needed for doctoral research, specialist and transferrable, are all instilled in Strathclyde students.

The staff at my placement schools were incredibly encouraging, offering guidance and feedback that helped me to develop my teaching practice. It was quite nerve-wracking at first, especially when learning how to lesson plan effectively and managing the classroom environment, but over time I started to feel much more confident.

The diversity and richness of this programme initiated my interest in commencing my studies in this particular LLM. The modules offered are up-to-date with the legal challenges of today and offer a specialised insight to students. The area of commercial law is multifaceted and flexible; the leadership has paid a lot of attention to constructing a programme that will enable the candidate to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skills in comparative analysis throughout the assignments.

I chose Strathclyde for a number of reasons. First of all, I was interested in the MSc in Sustainability and Environmental Studies course they offer, and the wide range of elective classes on offer on this course. I was also impressed with the University’s awards and reputation, and its strong connections with companies. The location of the campus in Glasgow city centre and Strathclyde’s welcoming international community were also key factors in my decision to choose Strathclyde.
I appreciate the opportunity to tailor the curriculum to match my interests and the cross-disciplinary approach of the course. I also enjoy the interactive workshops we sometimes have during classes, as well as the process of researching different topics for assignments and receiving individual or group feedback from lecturers, which broadens my perspective. Additionally, I also like the opportunity to collaborate with classmates and lecturers from many different backgrounds, especially in group projects—it’s enriching to hear different perspectives, and these discussions are incredibly educational and eye-opening.

The PgCert gave me the opportunity to potentially work from anywhere in the world, giving me the freedom to choose who I want to be as a person. Moreover, it shaped my beliefs as an educator and made me a better teacher.

The course completely changed the way that I think about language learning and communicating with people from different cultures. So many of the classes led to meaningful conversations with both my tutors and my peers and I always went home with food-for-thought. Of course, I also have to mention the amazing opportunities that I received following the completion of my dissertation.

Hi, I'm Max, a PhD student at the University of Strathclyde, and I completed an MSc in Advanced Physics here in 2023.

When I studied at undergraduate level I realised that I really enjoyed working in the lab, and that I wanted to explore this further as a potential career path. Life took me away from university for a few years, but I always wanted to come back for postgraduate study. After covid I’d resolved that the time was right, and so applied for several MSc programmes with the intention of staying on afterwards to complete a PhD.

I knew that I was most interested in quantum computing, and Strathclyde is the only university that’s a member of all four quantum hubs in the UK. It’s also the only university with a neutral atom quantum computer in-house. That’s actually what I’m now working on for my PhD.

Why Strathclyde?

I loved the range of optional modules that were available on the MSc that I studied, and how I could really tailor the degree to my interests. I’ve been fascinated by the phenomena of quantum mechanics for years, and there were several modules that explored these areas in some detail – they were so much fun! The department also has an open-door policy; if you’re stuck and want help, you can just wander around the department and if someone’s door is open, you can knock and ask for help. The entire department is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

The course was a great stepping stone for the PhD, and I think prepared me well to hopefully succeed on my PhD programme.

What's next?

After the PhD I’d like to do a postdoc in a related field but perhaps somewhere abroad. I love Scotland and Strathclyde, but it’d be nice to go to somewhere sunny for a change! These types of opportunities just wouldn’t have been available to me without the help of the university and all of the people within the department.

The courses at Strathclyde are designed to develop our imagination and develop our creativity. On the MSc Supply Chain and Procurement, we have case study presentations every two weeks which encourage us to enhance our knowledge and deliver it to the professional platform. The staff are kind and friendly, which makes it a great environment to study in.
I have made many friends from different countries around the world, who I have not only enjoyed spending time with, but I have also learned from. As an international student, I have always felt safe on the beautiful Strathclyde campus. It feels like home to me, and my favourite place to be is at the gym on campus at the impressive Strathclyde Sport facility, which always gives me a positive vibe.
The reputation of Strathclyde and the growth in my knowledge whilst studying here has boosted my confidence. I have tried my best to utilise all the opportunities provided to me. I believe that I am on the right track to achieving my goals. Based on my experiences I have recommended Strathclyde to my friends and colleagues, and also to prospective students through my role as a student ambassador for the Faculty of Engineering.

Upon completing my MSc in Diplomacy and International Security, I wanted to pursue a career in international peace and security. After finishing my degree, I began an internship with UN House Scotland, a grassroots organisation dedicated to supporting the implementation of the goals and values of the United Nations, where I worked as part of the Nuclear Disarmament and Human Rights projects.

What were your reasons for taking on a postgraduate degree?

I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree because I wanted to enrich my skillset by using my previous knowledge of Finance to transition into the field of Quantitative Finance. I believed that an MSc was the optimum utilisation of resources in terms of time, finances and effort to get me to the next phase of my professional life. I was of the opinion that doing a postgraduate degree would be time-constrained, yes – but it would teach me, not only about the educational side of things, but also other skills such as time management, which are key no matter where you are in life, what you are doing and what you’re setting out to do.

I am grateful for having received the prestigious Faculty of Science Masters Scholarship from the University of Strathclyde. This was one of the factors that pushed me to try my best because I was grateful to have gotten this opportunity and did not want it to pass me by.

What do you like about your course and Strathclyde?

I appreciated how application-based the course material was and how helpful our professors were during each semester. Before applying to the MSc in Quantitative Finance course, I had read a section by Dr. Mohammud Foondun where he mentioned it being a small cohort so the students would get more individualised attention, that is the experience I have had. Another factor I appreciated was that our Course Director made it a point to have a Personal Development meeting with us every semester to catch up, see how we were doing and air any grievances, thoughts. This made me feel comfortable as if I was being treated as an actual person and not just a “cog in the machine” for the University. I think that was made possible due to the small strength of our cohort – that meant that we got a more individualised support system and given the fast-paced nature of any Masters course, I greatly appreciated that. As I alluded to before, I appreciated how well-put together and thought out this course was. Quantitative Finance is a blend of Mathematics, Finance and Computer Science and Strathclyde used that and created this course.

Nabeel studied an MSc in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he graduated with Distinction in March 2024.

"I enjoyed the comprehensive coverage of key topics relevant to modern civil engineering practice the most on the course. The course encompasses a wide range of subjects, including project management, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Advanced Construction Technology, and the latest concepts in structural engineering.

Participating in site visits to iconic landmarks such as the Forth Road Suspension Bridge and Edinburgh's North Bridge has been incredibly insightful and memorable. These excursions have allowed me to gain firsthand exposure to engineering marvels and deepen my understanding of the practical applications of theoretical concepts learned in the classroom. Moreover, they have provided valuable insights into the real-world challenges and considerations involved in large-scale infrastructure projects.

The combination of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and exposure to emerging trends ensures that I am well-prepared to pursue a successful and fulfilling career in structural engineering and project management.

My favourite aspect of studying at Strathclyde has been the vibrant and inclusive community. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by both my peers and faculty members, creating an environment where learning feels engaging and enjoyable. Whether it's working together on group projects, attending inspiring lectures, or simply hanging out in the student union, there's always a strong sense of camaraderie that makes studying at Strathclyde truly special."

I ultimately decided on Strathclyde because I was impressed by progressive and people-centred publications being published from the School of Social Work and Social Policy. I knew I wanted to study at an institution that valued such impactful research.

As a Physical Education student, the facilities at Strathclyde were absolutely first class. We had access to genuinely world class equipment and areas to work in, which meant that we had immediate opportunities to put our learning into practice.

Commit and go for it! It's a fantastic course, run by an amazing university. It will massively help your career.

The staff in Strathclyde Psychology are extremely helpful and supportive, and genuinely want to see you succeed. I have always felt comfortable asking questions or asking for support, which has been crucial in my development as a researcher.

Rob is a Knowledge Exchange Associate in the Fraser of Allander Institute and a former student on our MSc Applied Economics, find out what he thinks of the course...

I was attracted to the MSc in Applied Economics because of its focus on relevant skills that employers look for. The application of theory to real-world issues gives the course an interesting niche. I directly employ a lot of the skills I developed on this course in my work at the Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI).

The classes have covered a wide range of topics and offer a good split between theory and application. There is a particular focus on the skills that we’re developing and how these can be used in future careers as applied economists. We’ve also been exposed to interesting external speakers from government and industry during lectures.

Completing the summer project helped me consolidate my learning by applying the skills I learned to one significant piece of work. The summer project was a similar piece of work to what real-world economists do.

There is a significant amount of practical careers support at Strathclyde and I was introduced to many local employers of economists to help me in my job search. Furthermore, there are plenty of work placements advertised on the course, meaning there are opportunities for relevant part-time work. My placement led onto a full-time job offer at FAI.

I worked part-time with FAI during my course, which helped me link the skills I have learnt on the MSc with the work I could do as an applied economist. I also gained exposure to the type of work that professional economists do, which helped me make decisions on my future career. Furthermore, the FAI provided interesting topic ideas for the summer project.

Before joining the MSc Finance & Management, I completed my Bachelor’s degree from Lahore School of Economics with double majors in Finance & Marketing. Having completed my Bachelor’s and first professional assignment in Pakistan, I wanted to increase my knowledge and skills on a much more diverse and global scale. Therefore, I decided to continue my education abroad.

Researching for universities, the University of Strathclyde stood out amongst other universities because of its triple accredited Business School. A high ranking in the relevant subject area further made it easy for me to move ahead with the decision.

There were a number of classes that helped me develop my skills and expertise, such as Professional Management Practice which helps you highlight and strengthen your talents and works to improve your weaknesses. This made me realise the standard and quality of education provided by the university was exactly what I was looking for to develop professionally and personally.

It’s important to mention the quality of the teaching faculty. The likes of Dr. Kathryn Thory and others have years of experience. They help you develop, and you learn so much from them. Moreover, modules such as Managing Digital Technology helped me develop knowledge about different technologies and how to manage them. All these and other classes are some of the best that I have studied and have contributed to as part of my professional and academic development.

The University of Strathclyde is located in the heart of Glasgow, making student life rather exuberant. Glasgow is a city with so much embedded culture and social diversity that it makes it easier for you to make new friends and talk to people from various backgrounds.

My advice to all the prospective students looking forward to pursuing their education is not to rush into choosing a university, but to give proper time to deciding which university and city you want to spend the next year of your life in. It is also important to take part in extra-curricular activities alongside your studies because you will make memories to cherish for years to come.

The University of Strathclyde and Glasgow are great places to come and study. I would highly recommend you pursue MSc Finance & Management if you want to explore different avenues in the financial and managerial world. As we always say, ‘People Make Glasgow’ and indeed it becomes home.

I love that I am always learning alongside my students as a 'facilitator of knowledge' rather than always the 'subject expert'. I love challenging the students to question the status quo, myself, others, and most importantly, question themselves.

Shivangni is currently studying towards her PhD in the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, having previously gained her Master’s degree from the same department.

"Let me start by saying that everyone loves to help here. My professors offered invaluable guidance, mapping out solutions and gave me time to learn. The lab staff's support made working on my project a smooth journey, and my supervisor's hands-on assistance was invaluable. Additionally, the encouragement from senior peers and classmates enhanced my overall experience.

If you have a goal in mind and a passion to utilise your skills to change things for the better, the University of Strathclyde is an incredible place to grow. With its wealth of resources, supportive environment, and opportunities for personal and academic development, it provides the perfect platform to turn your aspirations into reality."

My experience as a student on the Economics & Policy of Energy & Climate Change course has been a tremendous journey. As an engineering undergraduate, I was worried that I would have a tough time grasping the concept of economic terminologies, but the professors had an amazing way of explaining economic concepts in such a way that any person without an economics background would find it easy to navigate through the modules. The modules ranged from technology-based content to pure economics. The weekly assessments for each module were a mixture of subjective and objective-type questions, providing consistency for students to learn as they progressed through the course. One of the most important skills that I developed was effective writing in academic terms and the importance of referencing content in the field of research.

Beyond the classes and modules, Strathclyde is an amazing university with world-class facilities such as a vast library both offline and online, great sports facilities to help students stay physically fit and manage study and work stress, and above all a very fun and supportive student union which is the go-to place for all students for everything from solving queries on anything under the sun or just to catch up with friends for a game and drinks night. Glasgow is just as friendly as any other city in the world with all the facilities right in the city centre and lots of places to suit your mood. Be it a crazy night out or a calm Sunday afternoon at a park. Since Glasgow is home to many world-class universities, it is easy to find pocket-friendly restaurants and shops that have great student deals.

To all those who plan to choose Strathclyde or Glasgow for your education, all I would say is you will love every minute of it. Between stressful deadlines and conceptual lectures, don’t forget to go out with friends, crack a joke or two with professors (because they are very friendly), and above all breathe in the city and breathe out the stress. Help is always available at the University and in the city in general if you ask for it. You will make it because hard work and sincerity pay in the long run. All the best!

Before my Master degree, I was working as a journalist covering economic and business breaking news stories in India. I gained experience working in a commercial context explaining economics to a business audience for three years. I have completed my Bachelor in business administration as a silver medallist and am also an alumna of the Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media, Bangalore, where I studied broadcast journalism.

My motivation to take up MSc Economics & Finance was because I wanted to use economics to drive public policy and become an economist. My aim to take up this programme was to get trained as a skilled professional who can analyse, understand, and explain the complex economic and financial issues and bridge my career in business journalism, economics and finance.

As finance is in many respects an offshoot of economics, being a part of these two departments has been an exciting journey. I have studied various topics including advanced corporate finance, accounting and financial analysis, international trade and policy, macro- and microeconomics.

One notable aspect of this course was a module taught across the first and second semester, named Professional Development for Economists. This is unique, as I did not find it in other universities. This module involves a great range of guest speakers who are working as economists in business, consultancy and policy roles, and develops core transferable skills. The highlight of the module was that the kind of tasks I performed (such as writing policy briefing notes, presenting data, planning, and delivering on consultancy projects, leaderships skills and gaining experience in presenting findings) have now built my ability to apply and work in several roles where there are demands for the well-rounded applied economist.

With the help of this course, I was also able to get selected at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) as a work experience student. I also worked as research assistant at the Fraser of Allander Institute. The two opportunities have been a massive learning curve during the first six months of 2021. In addition to that, I am working on my thesis on inclusive growth policy, and I am very motivated to complete it and present my findings. It has been a very inspirational journey to get support from my supervisor for my thesis and other staff members during my work placements.

With this course, you can choose courses in each area of your interest. Through this you may find your favourite and then be able to take further study in your future career.

I also consider teaching an extraordinary opportunity to influence the world positively. There are more than enough physicists all around the world, but the lack of physics teachers is a problem almost everywhere.

This is primarily due to the benevolent and understanding nature of both academic and support staff at the university. They always try to stay in touch and extend support both academically and beyond, which made the study a whole lot more interesting and satisfying personally during these times.

One of the most enjoyable aspects was meeting and forming strong friendships with international students from Saudi Arabia, Africa, Pakistan, and Germany. The diversity of experiences and perspective made discussions and debates incredibly enriching.

As an international student, the staff was intentional about seeking me out and assisting me with both settling in the Glasgow writing community and thriving within it.

The course has helped me gain exposure to various real-world applications of data science, from simple data handling to building complex machine learning models. Studying at Strathclyde has affirmed my desire to utilise big data to make a positive impact in society and drive meaningful change.

I always recommend Strathclyde especially if it is an Engineering degree you are after. There are so many different degrees, facilities and opportunities in the University.

The course was super interesting and a really good mixture of classes, ranging from structural to mechanical with the additional challenge of everything being confined to a vessel and potentially harsh conditions.

The facilities in the department are wonderful, we not only have access to the kelvin hydrodynamic lab but also a virtual reality bridge!

If you are interested in education and wish to gain a deeper understanding of educational systems in a globalised context, this programme would be an excellent choice. I recommend engaging actively with classmates and lecturers, don't be afraid to share your opinions, as discussions often lead to new insights.
