The University of Strathclyde can trace its roots back to 1796 and received its Royal Charter in 1964. With a tradition as a ‘place for useful learning’, it has a reputation for excellence in high-standard, commercially-driven research, flexible and professional teaching and its entrepreneurial attitude. This is reflected with its award in 2012 by the Times Higher Education of  ‘UK University of the Year’ title and ‘UK Entrepreneurial University of the Year’ title the following year.

Educational Structure
Courses can involve lectures, discussion groups, practical instruction, project work and placements. The University operates a uniform credit-based modular course system. The standard curriculum normally comprises six 20-credit classes per year, usually including certain compulsory classes and a proportion of electives. Students are expected to undertake 120 credits a year (60 ECTS equivalent), which equates to 1,200 hours of study over the 30-week academic year, or roughly 40 hours per week. The University offers learning support and practical advice to help improve study skills, manage workloads and improve English language skills if needed. Learning and teaching is also facilitated by Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs).
