Highest subject rankings for University of Strathclyde
About University of Strathclyde
PROS
- According to QS World University Rankings, the University of Strathclyde is consistently ranked among the world’s Top 500 universities. This ranking is based on factors such as Student Satisfaction and Research Activity.
- This university enjoys a particularly strong reputation for post -graduate employability rates, due to providing exceptional support for those seeking their first job.
- The city centre is just a 5 minute walk away from most university residence halls, which has a positive effect on the social opportunities available to students after study hours. Glasgow has a vibrant nightlife to offer its young inhabitants, including popular music bars like Stereo, and Swing.
CONS
- The most common complaint from students is that the university lets the learner work by themselves too much, rather than providing a more intensive teaching experience.
- There is too much focus on how to write assignments, rather than the content of the assignments, according to numerous learners. This is an issue for those who feel they are only being prepared on how to work, instead of how to think about their area of study.
