University of Strathclyde (reviews)

The University can be a cold place, some students keep to themselves. The lectures are good, mainly high quality. Lots of international students to allow you to make friends with lots of different people. You are in the centre of Glasgow and this allows you quick access to shops, cinemas, restaurants and nightclubs.

My course offered a good amount of practical skills including weekly lab sessions, courtroom experience and collection of evidence from a mock crime scene. They were all valuable experience and gave me a good insight about what roles are involved in forensic field.

The University of Strathclyde has its strengths, especially when it comes to the dedication and quality of its teaching staff. The lecturers are truly amazing—knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about their subjects, which makes the learning experience engaging. Additionally, the well-being and disability services are fantastic, offering helpful and much-needed support to students.

However, as a law student, I’ve found the resources and information provided to be lacking. While self-study is a big part of any law degree, the limited guidance and access to resources feel unreasonable for such a demanding subject. Strathclyde as an institution also struggles with effectively communicating important information to students, which can be incredibly frustrating.

That said, it’s not all bad—the university has its positives, but there are definitely areas for improvement, especially in providing law students with the resources and support they need to succeed.

No matter what you need help with there’s a department to give you a hand. I really recommend studying here as it is so helpful to have supportive people around to support and help you through any problems
