Strathclyde University has recently launched a new, state-of-the-art applied superconductivity laboratory. The laboratory has been built to help advance the technologies for energy and transportation power systems.
The superconducting technologies such as those found in this new laboratory play a key role in producing high power, greener energy. Although the practical uses of superconductors are still being investigated and identified, they are most commonly used in hospital MRI machines, which work by using a superconducting magnet.
“I’m delighted to formally open the new laboratory, which will be investigating the key technologies that will be required for a lower carbon energy system and the electrification of flight.
“Its location within the Technology and Innovation Centre and our collaborations with other Strathclyde facilities will establish a unique combination of superconducting technology, electrical power systems and manufacturing methods specialists."
12 researchers will be supported by a wider team of approximately 270 electrical power specialists in the Institute for Energy and Environment at Strathclyde.
Teaching at Strathclyde University consists of tutorials, seminar-style classes and large group lectures. As well as this, students are expected to participate in independent study. Students are given all of the information they require for their course, but are encouraged by the teaching staff to better understand their subject.
Students are also given the opportunity to receive the support of a personal tutor. The personal tutors help students to keep progressing their studies further and can offer advice on any projects or topics they are struggling with. Strathclyde University was voted Number 1 in the UK in seven subjects, in the Complete University Guide 2019.
As well as having dedicated and experienced teaching staff, the University of Strathclyde integrates practical work experiences into courses. This includes internships and placement opportunities to better prepare students for life and employment after graduation. Students not only gain knowledge on their chosen subject during their study, they also acquire industry skills and experience that many businesses look for in employees.
The University of Strathclyde is split into 4 excellent faculties. Each one has a range of interesting courses available to study:
Topics of study include architecture, biomedical engineering, chemical & process engineering, civil & environmental engineering, design, manufacture & engineering management, electronic & electrical engineering, mechanical & aerospace engineering, naval architecture and ocean & marine engineering.
Topics of study include education, government & public policy, humanities, law, psychological sciences & health and social work & social policy.
Topics of study include computer & information sciences, mathematics & statistics, physics, pure & applied chemistry, Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences
Topics of study include accounting & finance, economics, entrepreneurship, management science, marketing, MBA & international division, executive education & development, work and employment & organisation.
International students are required to have a certain level of English language proficiency to study at the university. Strathclyde University accept a number of English language tests as proof of English language skill.
The current standard requirements are:
Other English language qualifications that are acceptable include the following:
Some study programmes have specific English language requirements that differ from the above so please check individual course pages for details.
The university’s Recruitment and International Office can offer prospective students advice on any further qualifications that have not been listed.
As well as English language proficiency, there are specific course and country-based entry requirements. International students who do not meet all of the academic requirements can study preparation programmes. These are taught on campus and have been designed to introduce students to the style of teaching at the University of Strathclyde. Once this has been successfully completed, students can advance to degree-level of study.
Students are greatly encouraged to have a balance of study as well as extra-curricular activities. The university has a number of wonderful facilities to ensure that students enjoy life on campus and have a brilliant student experience.
The University’s £31 million state-of-the-art centre for sport & recreation hosts a range of activities such as a variety of fitness classes, squash courts, a free weights area, gym and swimming pool. For outdoor activities there are football, rugby and hockey pitches.
The university has more than 25 modern PC labs and more than 1,000 PCs across campus with 350 available for drop-in use. There are dedicated IT helpdesk staff on hand to assist with IT queries, as well as an online Resource Centre for tutorials and free training from IT experts.
There are a number of excellent halls of accommodation at the University of Strathclyde:
Each hall is only a short walk from the main university buildings, including the Students’ Union, Sports Centre, International Study Centre, Library and the campus shops and cafes. The university is ideally situated in the bustling Glasgow city centre. A variety of bars, clubs, shops and restaurants are all a few minutes from the accommodation blocks.
Accommodation is self-catering, and a mixture of en-suite and shared bathroom facilities. Rooms are fully equipped with comfortable furniture and excellent internet connection. There is shared living space for students to socialise and cook together, which includes modern kitchen appliances and a TV.
The University of Strathclyde Glasgow has a number of different scholarships available to international undergraduate and postgraduate students. Available for both the pathway programmes and degree courses, scholarships can cover both tuition fees and living expenses. There are also some other partial funding opportunities that can contribute towards university costs.
Scholarships are available for the Undergraduate Foundation Programme, International Year One BBA and Pre-Masters Programme. These are limited in availability and are awarded on a first come first served basis. After successful completion of a pathway programme, students can be awarded scholarships each academic year if they achieve grades of 60%.
University scholarships are available at all four of the University of Strathclyde faculties:
Combined scholarships can also be awarded to students that are self-funded. These are provided by both the Strathclyde International Study Centre and the University for studying a pathway programme as well as undergraduate or postgraduate study.
