| Comment | It's a bit of a Uni of two halves: a few of Strath's departments are (arguably) the best in Scotland and among the best in the UK; physics, business school, electrical/mechanical engineering to pick a few. Most of the rest, however, are fairly mediocre. This basically reflects the fact it used to be a purely 'technical' university and only broadened out when it got its royal charter in the 70s, unlike Glasgow which is a standard 'ancient' university which has tried to cover everything for centuries.
But yeah, generally I wouldn't look to strath for most humanities subjects.
(disclaimer: studied STEM at both Glasgow and Strath, had more fun at the former but found the courses better at the latter) |
