Does anyone have an idea of when you hear back from the likes of Glasgow Strathclyde and Edinburgh for Business courses?

Hey @Sjc7001 🙂 We're processing lots of applications and Business is very competitive for us. Normally the admissions teams will wait until after the UCAS deadline to start working through most of their applications (which was on 29th Jan this year so not too long ago). Generally we aim to try and have the majority decided by the end of March. Universities can take up until the end of May, but hopefully you won't need to wait as long as then. Until you hear otherwise you're still being considered 🙂
For the applicant days, these will take place in the Spring. If you don't have an offer back by the time we're running them, there are still lots of opportunities to come to campus afterwards and meet our teams. We run regular 'Visit Strathclyde' events, and walking campus tours. Will drop the link to these here: Visiting opportunities | University of Strathclyde

Hi Caitlin, is this the same for politics courses? Do the preferred/top students get offers before others?

Can I ask what you mean by Spring please for the offer holder days? I thought Spring meant March - April, and if offers are only coming out then it will be difficult to attend. Also gets too close to the exams.

The offer holder days are in April 🙂 If you receive an offer you'll hear more about these directly from your faculty. There's a couple of dates available which hopefully gives some variety for students to attend, and we've taken exam dates in to account when planning as well.
If you find you receive an offer and you're not able to attend the applicant days, get in touch with me here and I can help you plan a day to visit the University and help with any questions you need answered.

I’ve applied for humanities courses and still waiting to hear. I believe Edinburgh can be as late as April. Feel we could be missing out if we don’t hear before offer holder days.

Is buisness a humanity or a social science?

Caitlin, considering the first SQA exam is end of April, Strathclyde should really get a move on with the offers so students know what grade (if conditional) they need to work towards. Its frustrating. Glasgow sent me offers before the deadline!
