The institution was named University of the Year 2012 by Times Higher Education[7] and again in 2019, becoming the first university to receive this award twice.[8] The annual income of the institution for 2021–22 was £387.8 million of which £108.3 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £520.4 million.[1]

History Edit

The university was founded in 1796 through the will of John Anderson, professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, who left instructions and the majority of his estate to create a second university in Glasgow which would focus on "Useful Learning" – specialising in practical subjects – "for the good of mankind and the improvement of science, a place of useful learning". The university later named its city centre campus after him.

In 1828, the institution was renamed Anderson's University, partially fulfilling Anderson's vision of two universities in the city of Glasgow. The name was changed in 1887, to reflect the fact that there was no legal authority for the use of the title of 'university'.[9] As a result, the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College was formed, becoming the Royal Technical College in 1912, and the Royal College of Science and Technology in 1956 concentrating on science and engineering teaching and research. Undergraduate students could qualify for degrees of the University of Glasgow or the equivalent Associate of the Royal College of Science and Technology (ARCST).

Under Principal Samuel Curran, internationally respected nuclear physicist (and inventor of the scintillation counter), the Royal College gained University Status, receiving its Royal Charter to become The University of Strathclyde in 1964, merging with the Scottish College of Commerce at the same time. Contrary to popular belief, The University of Strathclyde was not created as a result of the Robbins Report – the decision to grant the Royal College university status had been made earlier in the 1960s[10] but delayed as a result of Robbins Report. The University of Strathclyde was the UK's first technological university reflecting its history, teaching and research in technological education. In 1993, the university incorporated Jordanhill College of Education.

The university has grown from approximately 4,000 full-time students in 1964 to over 20,000 students in 2003, when it celebrated the 100th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the original Royal College building.

In July 2015, Her Majesty The Queen opened the University of Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC).[11]

Campus Edit

The John Anderson Campus is located mostly within the Townhead district, on the north-eastern side of Glasgow city centre, with some buildings located slightly south of this in the Merchant City area. The campus grew initially from the massive Royal College Building on George Street, which was originally the location of the former Anderson's Institution. Work started in 1903 and completed in 1912, it was partially opened in 1910 and at the time was the largest educational building in Europe for technical education. Originally built as the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College Building, it now houses Bioscience, Chemistry, and Electronic and Electrical Engineering. In the late 1950s, campus expansion began with the construction of the James Weir, Thomas Graham and Student's Union buildings. Following the granting of the Royal Charter and the Royal College gaining university status in 1964, the campus grew quickly in size, expanding eastwards towards High Street on an area that had been rezoned for educational use and its slum housing cleared as part of the Townhead "comprehensive development area" (CDA).

The James Weir Building, built in two stages in 1957 and 1962, was reconstructed and reopened in 2014 after a serious fire resulted in many rooms being unusable.[12]

University of Strathclyde Students' Association was founded in 1964 out of the merger of the respective student unions of both the Royal College and the Scottish College of Commerce and was located at 90 John Street, which was constructed by the Royal College in 1959. It remained the home of the Association until August 2021, when it moved into new accommodation within the former Colville Building on Richmond Street.

The Graham Hills Building was originally an office block known as 'Marland House', built by the General Post Office and completed in 1959 for the GPO's Telephones division and other governmental organisations but was acquired by the University in 1987 from British Telecom and converted for academic use in the early 1990s. It is now the location of the "Strathclyde Wonderwall", one of the biggest wall murals in the United Kingdom.

The early 1960s also saw the fruition of a collaborative deal between the then Royal College and the Corporation of Glasgow to regenerate the Richmond Street site opposite the main buildings. This led to the construction of the McCance Building and the Livingstone Tower between 1962 and 1964, the latter having originally been designed as a commercial office block, but was instead leased to the University in 1965, and has been used as an academic building ever since.

The Architecture Building, completed in 1967, was designed by Frank Fielden and Associates, Frank Fielden being the Professor of Architecture in the Architecture School at the time. In 2012, Historic Scotland granted Listed Building Status (grade B) to it, along with the Wolfson Building designed by Morris and Steedman Architects. 2012 also saw the 20th Century Society select the Architecture Building as their 'Building of the Month' for September due to its cultural significance and enduring appeal.[13] Meanwhile, a new biomedical sciences building was opened in early 2010. It was designed by Shepparrd Robson, and aims to bring the multi-faceted disciplines of the Institute together under one roof. Sited on Cathedral Street in Glasgow, the 8,000 m2 (86,000 sq ft) building is the gateway to the university campus and city centre from the motorway.[citation needed]

The University of Strathclyde Centre for Sports, Health and Wellbeing is a leisure facility undergoing construction situated adjacent to 100 Cathedral Street. Construction began in November 2016 and completed in 2019.[14]

Since taking over Jordanhill College in 1993, the university operated two campuses—The John Anderson Campus and the Jordanhill campus—until 2012, when the Jordanhill campus was closed and everything was moved to the John Anderson Campus.[citation needed]

Library and archives Edit

 
Andersonian Library, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

The Andersonian Library is the principal library of the University of Strathclyde. Established in 1796, it is one of the largest of its type in Scotland. It is situated in the Curran Building, a former warehouse owned by William Collins and Sons, but purchased by the University and converted in 1980. Situated over 5 floors at present, the Andersonian Library has more than 2,000 reader places, 450 computer places and extensive wi-fi zones for laptop use. It has around one million print volumes as well as access to over 540,000 electronic books, 239 databases and over 38,000 e-journals that can be used 24/7 from any suitably enabled computer.[15]

The archives are divided into 3 as follows.[16]

Technology and Innovation Centre Edit

 
University of Strathclyde, Technology and Innovation Centre

The University of Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre is a centre for technological research. The construction of this centre began in March 2012 and was completed in March 2015. The nine-storey, steel-framed building can accommodate around 1,200 workers from numerous fields, including engineering, researching and project management. It includes open plan space for offices, three lecture theatres and areas for specialist laboratory equipment.

The project secured a £6.7 million funding from the European Regional Development Fund and another £26 million from the Scottish Government. The university itself supplied the other £57 million needed to reach its £89 million budget needed to create the centre.[17][18]

In addition to the Technology and Innovation Centre, a 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft) Industry Engagement Building is located adjacent to the TIC building.

Research carried out in the Technology and Innovation Centre is in the fields of: Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing, Advanced Science and Technology, Bionanotechnology, Business Engagement, Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC), Energy, Health Technologies at Strathclyde, Human and Social Aspects of Technology, Photonics and Sensors, and Asset Management.[19] The TIC hosts the UK's first Fraunhofer research centre, the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics and TIC also plays a major role in Scotland's International Technology and Renewable Energy Zone (ITREZ).[citation needed]

Faculties and departments Edit

The university currently consists of four main faculties categorised based on subjects and academic fields that they deal with and each faculty is sub-divided into several departments which deal with specific academic and research areas. They are:

 
Strathclyde Business School

The university delivered teaching to 24,330 full-time and part-time students in 2019/20: 16,115 undergraduates and 8,215 postgraduates.[20] Another 34,000 people take part in continuing education and professional development programmes.[citation needed] The university's main campus, John Anderson Campus, is located in the centre of Glasgow, near George Square. Till 2012, the university operated an education campus in the suburb of Jordanhill, at the site of the previous Jordanhill Teacher Training College which it disposed of and relocated to a new building in the John Anderson Campus. In January 2012, The university's Court also endorsed the recommendation of the Estates Steering Group that Strathclyde moves to a single campus by disposing of the entire Jordanhill site and constructing a new building for the Faculty of Education on the John Anderson campus.[21]

Strathclyde is the only Scottish university that offers the IET Power Academy engineering scholarships to its engineering students.[22]

A detailed study published in 2015 by Vikki Boliver has shown among the Old universities, Oxford and Cambridge emerge as an elite tier, whereas the remaining 22 Russell Group universities are undifferentiated from 17 other prestigious Old universities (including the University of Strathclyde) which form the second cluster.[49][50]

Research Edit

In 2011 the university's Advanced Forming Research Centre was announced as a leading partner in the first UK-wide Technology Strategy Board Catapult Centre. The Government also announced that the university is to lead the UK-wide EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation.

The university has become the base for the first Fraunhofer Centre to be established in the UK. Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe's largest organisation for contract research, is creating the new Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics in collaboration with Strathclyde, for research in sectors including healthcare, security, energy and transport.

Strathclyde was chosen in 2012 as the exclusive European partner university for South Korea's global research and commercialisation programme – the Global Industry-Academia Cooperation Programme, funded by South Korea's Ministry of Knowledge and Economics.

In 2012 the university became a key partner in its second UK Catapult Centre. Plans for the Catapult Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy were announced at Strathclyde by Business Secretary Vince Cable. The university has also become a partner in the Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy, which is one of 11 doctoral centres at Strathclyde.

Engineers at the university are leading the €4 million, Europe-wide Stardust project, a research-based training network investigating the removal of space debris and the deflection of asteroids.

Strathclyde has become part of the new ESRC Enterprise Research Centre, a £2.9 million venture generating world-class research to help stimulate growth for small and medium-sized enterprises.[6]

Since 2016 the Wellcome Trust has invested over £3 million of funding awards in the university's Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare, for research projects, teaching and training programmes, and to build Medical Humanities partnerships in Africa and Asia.

The university has centres in pharmacy, drug delivery and development, micro and ultrasonic engineering, biophotonics and photonics, biomedical engineering, medical devices, new therapies, prosthetics and orthotics, the history of health and healthcare, law, crime and justice and social work.

Philosophy at the University of Glasgow who left instructions and the majority of his estate to create a second university in Glasgow which would focus on Useful Learning specialising in practical subjects for the good of mankind and the improvement of science a place of useful learning The university later named its city centre campus after him In 1828 the institution was renamed Anderson s University partially fulfilling Anderson s vision of two universities in the city of Glasgow The name was changed in 1887 to reflect the fact that there was no legal authority for the use of the title of university 9 As a result the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College was formed becoming the Royal Technical College in 1912 and the Royal College of Science and Technology in 1956 concentrating on science and engineering teaching and research Undergraduate students could qualify for degrees of the University of Glasgow or the equivalent Associate of the Royal College of Science and Technology ARCST Under Principal Samuel Curran internationally respected nuclear physicist and inventor of the scintillation counter the Royal College gained University Status receiving its Royal Charter to become The University of Strathclyde in 1964 merging with the Scottish College of Commerce at the same time Contrary to popular belief The University of Strathclyde was not created as a result of the Robbins Report the decision to grant the Royal College university status had been made earlier in the 1960s 10 but delayed as a result of Robbins Report The University of Strathclyde was the UK s first technological university reflecting its history teaching and research in technological education In 1993 the university incorporated Jordanhill College of Education The university has grown from approximately 4 000 full time students in 1964 to over 20 000 students in 2003 when it celebrated the 100th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the original Royal College

Strathclyde UniversityThe John Anderson Campus is located mostly within the Townhead district on the north eastern side of Glasgow city centre with some buildings located slightly south of this in the Merchant City area The campus grew initially from the massive Royal College Building on George Street which was originally the location of the former Anderson s Institution Work started in 1903 and completed in 1912 it was partially opened in 1910 and at the time was the largest educational building in Europe for technical education Originally built as the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College Building it now houses Bioscience Chemistry and Electronic and Electrical Engineering In the late 1950s campus expansion began with the construction of the James Weir Thomas Graham and Student s Union buildings Following the granting of the Royal Charter and the Royal College gaining university status in 1964 the campus grew quickly in size expanding eastwards towards High Street on an area that had been rezoned for educational use and its slum housing cleared as part of the Townhead comprehensive development area CDA The James Weir Building built in two stages in 1957 and 1962 was reconstructed and reopened in 2014 after a serious fire resulted in many rooms being unusable 12 University of Strathclyde Students Association was founded in 1964 out of the merger of the respective student unions of both the Royal College and the Scottish College of Commerce and was located at 90 John Street which was constructed by the Royal College in 1959 It remained the home of the Association until August 2021 when it moved into new accommodation within the former Colville Building on Richmond Street The Graham Hills Building was originally an office block known as Marland House built by the General Post Office and completed in 1959 for the GPO s Telephones division and other governmental organisations but was acquired by the University in 1987 from British Telecom and converted for academic use in the early 1990s It is now the location of the Strathclyde Wonderwall one of the biggest wall murals in the United Kingdom The early 1960s also saw the fruition of a collaborative deal between the then Royal College and the Corporation of Glasgow to regenerate the Richmond Street site opposite the main buildings This led to the construction of the McCance Building and the Livingstone Tower between 1962 and 1964 the latter having originally been designed as a commercial office block but was instead leased to the University in 1965 and has been used as an academic building ever since The Architecture Building completed in 1967 was designed by Frank Fielden and Associates Frank Fielden being the Professor of Architecture in the Architecture School at the time In 2012 Historic Scotland granted Listed Building Status grade B to it along with the Wolfson Building designed by Morris and Steedman Architects 2012 also saw the 20th Century Society select the Architecture Building as their Building of the Month for September due to its cultural significance and enduring appeal 13 Meanwhile a new biomedical sciences building was opened in early 2010 It was designed by Shepparrd Robson and aims to bring the multi faceted disciplines of the Institute together under one roof Sited on Cathedral Street in Glasgow the 8 000 m2 86 000 sq ft building is the
