Tips
Here are some helpful videos sharing tips to make the most of your time at Strathclyde.
Welcome to Glasgow
Strath Union and The University of Strathclyde call the city of Glasgow home and for those of
you who are arriving in Glasgow for the very first time, welcome!
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, with a special mix of history, culture, entertainment and education.
It has great scran (food), top patter (conversation) and plenty of activities to keep you occupied - when
you're not studying of course...
All of the buildings on campus, including Strath Union and Halls, are located between Cathedral and George
Street so you're right in the heart of Glasgow. Pop into the Union to say hi if you're in the area
before September!
Join StrathMates
StrathMates is a new buddy programme run by Strath Union to help you settle into University and the city!
We will match you with your buddy group using the interests you select in our match form. This will help you meet like-minded people and have a group of new students to spend time with alongside your StrathMates.

months of the year can travel for free by bus with a valid National Entitlement Card or Young Scot
National Entitlement Card.
