University of Strathclyde
Glasgow's technological university, strong in energy, engineering and applied science.
About University of Strathclyde
Strathclyde describes itself as the place of useful learning, and the engineering faculty is one of the largest in Scotland.
Energy systems, offshore wind and power electronics are particular strengths, with research centres shared with industry.
Scottish degrees run four years, with a broader first year than English equivalents — useful if you are not fully decided on a specialism.
