centre has a vibrant arts scene, cutting-edge music, legendary nightlife, an exciting selection of places to eat out and much more. So studying at Strathclyde goes hand-in-hand with having a great time.
Inter-campus bus service. There's a regular shuttle bus between the John Anderson Campus and the Jordanhill Campus.
Seeing more of Glasgow. There's a lot to see in and around Glasgow - stately homes and museums like the Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum are unmissable. And with Loch Lomond just half an hour away there's plenty of breathtaking scenery to enjoy too. Glasgow also has great shopping and inspiring architecture - why not take a look at www.glasgowarchitecture.co.uk and www.scotcities.com to get some ideas?
As the biggest city in Scotland and the third biggest in Britain, Glasgow has excellent national and international transport links. And it's easy to get around once you're here too. This section gives you all the information you need to find us - and some hints on what visitors should see in Glasgow.
Live music. Glasgow is home to many bands that are now international names and there's loads of new talent coming out of the city's live music venues. So whether you are into rock or indie, punk or even country music, there's a place where you can give your eardrums a treat.
High culture. As well as its thriving street culture, Glasgow has more than its fair share of high culture, with a year-round programme of arts and music. There are over 20 museums and galleries, and the city is home to Scottish Opera, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Royal Ballet.
Green spaces. People visiting Glasgow for the first time are often surprised at the amount of green space in the city centre - all the 19th-century landscaped parks and gardens are the perfect balance to the urban pace of life.
Sporting highlights. With a keenly contested rivalry between the country's two top football teams - Rangers and Celtic - an international stadium at Hampden and hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2014, Glasgow has a rightful claim to be Scotland's sporting capital.
The Highlands and Islands. With so much to do in the city centre, it's a wonder anyone finds time to venture out further - but with the highlands and islands less than an hour away, it's too tempting to resist.
Strathclyde is a great place to study and enjoy life at the same time. And this is where you can find out everything about us - from how we teach, to what's on in Glasgow and how to get around.
