Welcome from Strath Union
Being part of the Union will be the best decision you’ll ever make!
A couple of weeks ago, we held an induction for International Students and we enjoyed meeting you. Don’t worry if you were unable to attend, there is plenty of time to get to know us during your time here at Strathclyde. Whilst you are settling in to your new surroundings, we would like to take this opportunity to tell you a bit more about Strath Union and remind you that we are here for you whenever you need us.
Upcoming Events
- All Harry Potter enthusiasts, you're gonna want to hear about this! We're taking you to Hogwarts! Join us in a day trip to the Alnwick castle where Harry Potter movies were shot

This 3-day trip around the beautiful Scottish Highlands will give you a taste of the nature and history that Scotland is famous for. If you do one thing while you’re in Scotland, it should be to visit the Highlands. So whether you’re here for a short time or have been around for a while, pack a bag and save the date!
