University of Strathclyde

The University of Strathclyde is the second oldest university in Glasgow, after the University of Glasgow - it was founded in 1796 under the name of the Andersonian Institute. In 2012 the Times Higher Education supplement awarded it the title of University of the Year. It is especially well-known and respected for its work in entrepreneurship and it has an approach offering solutions to the challenges of the modern business and technology worlds as well as important research facilities.

The University of Strathclyde is located on the John Anderson Campus in Glasgow. This self-contained campus is part of the Townhead and Merchant City areas of the city to the north-east. It stands halfway between the Queen Street and High Street railway stations. The main library at the University, the Andersonian Library, is the largest university library in Scotland, with seating for 2,000 readers and a collection of around one million print books. The University of Strathclyde also boasts a state-of-the-art Technology and Innovation Centre. The four main faculties at the university are the Faculty of Engineering, the Strathclyde Business School, the Faculty of Science and Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
