It’s Scottish Apprenticeship Week! 🎉

This week, we’re celebrating our apprentices and their vital role in shaping Scotland’s workforce. Here are just some of our Business & Administration Modern Apprentices and how it has helped their career development:

Callum Greig – Digital Apprentice at the NIMS 💻

“The apprenticeship has helped me develop my communication skills, whether it’s talking to my colleagues or replying to an email more professionally. It has also helped me build my confidence when talking to my colleagues face to face. Before starting my apprenticeship, I struggled with anxiety, but this has helped me improve in that area."

Carys Ferry – HR Apprentice 👩🏼‍💼

“My apprenticeship with Strathclyde has been a fantastic opportunity to adapt and develop in the workplace, which I am thoroughly enjoying. I have faced many different tasks, and by completing my modules alongside this, I have been able to evaluate my growing skill set, along with my strengths and weaknesses that I am constantly working on improving, which is benefiting me both inside and outside the workplace.”

Lucy Kennedy - Admin Assistant in the Estates Team 🔑

"After leaving school, I applied for a Modern Apprenticeship at Strathclyde. At the time, I had no clear idea of what I wanted to do in my career. Two and a half years later, I am still working at Strathclyde, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. I have learned so much in a short time, had the opportunity to progress, and genuinely enjoy my role. After completing my apprenticeship, I secured a permanent Grade 4 position within the University. This has allowed me to progress even further through the Graduate Apprenticeship degree program in Business Management at Strathclyde Business School."

UK University of the Year

The University of Strathclyde has become the first university to win the coveted University of the Year title twice!

We picked up the top prize at the Times Higher Education Awards 2019, beating off stiff competition from universities around the country.

Judges praised our commitment to our founding vision of being the place of useful learning, adding that the university "set itself the task of reviving Scotland's traditional industrial base with a scale of ambition that has multiplied rapidly over the past decade".

The award honours our success in creating a series of collaborative research centres that share expertise and equipment with industry and developing Scotland's first innovation district.

Our influence on policy was also praised, with special mention to our pollster Professor Sir John Curtice.

Strathclyde also won the Widening Participation or Outreach Initiative of the Year award for our Breaking Barriers initiative, a pioneering programme which gives young people with learning disabilities access to education and work experience opportunities.

Since we first won the University of the Year title in 2012, we have continued to be a bold and innovative institution.

Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal of the University of Strathclyde, said:

“We are delighted to be awarded this honour which reflects the educational, social and economic contribution of our staff and students over the last year.

"Our vision as a leading international technological university is being realised and we are proud to be delivering technological and socially progressive solutions to global challenges, alongside our partners."

Earlier in 2019, we were recognised as Scottish University of the Year 2020 by The Sunday Times Good University Guide. And just last week we were awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the highest national honour awarded to our sector.

The drive that first won us UK University of the Year in 2012, continues today and has seen us launch Scotland’s first innovation district, expand on our Learning and Teaching building and open the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre.

On top of that, we continued our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our University community through the creation of the state-of-the-art Strathclyde Sport facility

We started the year by winning our largest single research contract, aimed at transforming the world’s response to urgent challenges facing our oceans including plastic pollution, rising sea levels, acidification and over-fishing.

Since then, we've continued to take bold steps in transforming our approach to working with business, industry and government to make a positive impact on the local - and global - community we serve.
