University of Strathclyde Reviews and Ratings

• I found my accommodation through one of my friends.
• It was an Off-campus living space only for students. An ensuite room with a shared kitchen with 4 other students. The facilities included were study rooms, a laundry room, a movie room, a gym, a gaming area, and a party room, all with good security. I paid approximately 45000 rupees per month.
• Personally I didn't face any challenges while finding an accommodation because:
• 1. you always can choose University accommodation but it's a little expensive than private accommodation
• 2. It is easier to find private accommodations on any social media platform, and even the University could help you.
• It is always better to Join university groups and Facebook groups to know better and always talk to previous students through your social media or LinkedIn. They can help you way better than anybody when it comes to accommodation.
• My accommodation was a 5-minute walk from the University. Most Indian students stayed in such Living spaces and were not more than a 15 minute walk from the University.

• My agent actually suggested the accommodation where I did stay for one year during my master's. And that was pretty good and the manager and staff were really welcoming. Choose sharing flats rather than studios or en suites, which are a bit costlier. But again, finding compatible roommates can be tough. Accommodation near to university campuses is costlier, so prefer staying a bit away and use transport or even one can prefer to walk.

• Job placement is tricky for international students; most of my classmates weren't able to secure the job of their choice. Despite the abundance of opportunities in the IT industry and IT-related jobs, job placement remains challenging for international students. If you have a technology or IT background, you're more likely to secure a job.

• Finding accommodation is easy through platforms like Rightmove and Facebook groups.
• The process involves browsing listings, scheduling viewings, and paying an advance to secure a place.
• Shared accommodation helps reduce costs, but choosing the right roommates is crucial for a comfortable living experience.

40% of the batch got the job within 6 months; sometimes, it's hard to get your desired job in 6 months. average salary is around 30 to 40 thousand pounds. Students get a job through references and from websites like Linkedin and Indeed. In my batch, the lowest salary offered was 25 thousand pounds, and the highest was 80 thousand pounds, again it varies on the experience of the individual.

I applied through an online platform and stayed at Kyle Park House, which is run by Unite Students. I did this before coming to the UK. Usually, they have flexible payment plans and you can book first and then pay as per their given payment dates. I did not face challenges due to booking in advance. The recommendation would be to sort out these matters before coming to the UK to avoid any hassles.

Overall experience was above average. I chose this university because it was offering me a degree in the field of Quantitative finance without any hard entry requirements (Like a high GRE score or a BSc in Mathematics or computer science).

The course offered was the first of its kind. A one-year Master's program that allowed me to continue working as it was part-time and distance learning. I always wanted to study law, but as I had pursued the sciences, I did not think it would be possible. The University of Strathclyde provided me with this amazing opportunity and I wasn't going to turn it down. The faculty was exceptional, and the overall learning experience was truly wonderful. My classmates were from different parts of the world and their knowledge and personal experiences with tackling climate change issues added to my learning.

I chose the University because of my unique course, which was available with the University. Also, I get to experience 2 countries while studying 1 course

As it's Civil and Environmental Engineering department is quite reputed.
