Is Strathclyde a prestigious uni for this subject?
Thanks

Hey @lindseywalsh :biggrin:

I'd say we definitely have a strong rep for Finance. We've been recognised in some rankings (2nd in the UK for Accounting & Finance (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023)), and the business school holds a triple accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA) showing the Business School's prestige :smile:

Our Business School is known for its strong degrees and reputation for working with industry partners. Glasgow is also a great place to base yourself for a Finance degree given there's a large financial district (for example Barclays have just built a large campus here).

Is it Undergraduate or Postgraduate study you're applying for? You may be able to find students currently studying the course on our Unibuddy platform here: Chat to a student ambassador | University of Strathclyde :smile:

That can be really useful for putting you in touch with current students.

Hope that helps a bit but let me know if you've any other questions!

Hi @lindseywalsh Yes I'd say so! Around 10% of our Undergraduate population comes from the 'Rest of the UK' and this grows year on year, so you wouldn't be the only one making the move from England :smile:

We're also diverse in the sense that we've a large student population and our students come from over 140 countries so we have a vibrant and diverse student body overall.
