University of Strathclyde founded in 1796 through the will of Professor 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" — specializing in practical subjects - "for the good of mankind and the improvement of science, a place of useful learning". The University of Strathclyde later named one of the two campuses 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'. 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).
University of Strathclyde has developed its reputation and 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. Today, the university is a major educational centre, the largest postgraduate provider in Scotland and one of the largest in the UK (HESA 2006)for post-graduate studies and research, with students from around 90 countries. The University of Strathclyde (Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Srath Chluaidh), is located in Glasgow, Scotland, is Glasgow's second university by age, founded in 1796, and receiving its Royal Charter in 1964 as the UK's first technological university. It takes its name from the historic Kingdom of Strathclyde. Today Strathclyde is one of the UK's leading universities (37 Times Good University Guide 2010; 40 Complete University Guide 2010; 38 Guardian University Guide 2010) and ranking in the top 15 in the UK for accounting and finance; architecture; business, chemical engineering; Education; hospitality; law; other subjects allied to medicine; pharmacology and pharmacy; sports science by the Complete University Guide.
University of Strathclyde is ranked 37th in the UK 113th in Europe and 270th in the world by the QS World University Rankings. Currently, the University contains two campuses, John Anderson Campus and the Jordanhill campus. Each campus changed very little from its humble beginnings to the creation of the University of Strathclyde in 1964. The centrepiece building has long been the massive Royal College Building, begun in 1903, and building work took nine years to complete. The 1960s and 1970s saw a huge programme of new academic buildings being built, while the 1980s concentrated on developing the student residences.
The University of Strathclyde is embarking on a major campus renewal project, estimated to take 15 years and cost £300m. The key elements of this will be the sale of the Jordanhill site and the relocation of its departments to the John Anderson Campus. The McCance/Livingstone Tower/Collins complex of buildings will be demolished whilst the James Weir and Colville buildings will be extensively refurbished. A new sports centre building on Cathedral Street is also proposed. A new biomedical sciences building is currently under construction designed by Shepparrd Robson, and is a purpose-built centre which will bring the multi-faceted disciplines of the Institute together under one roof. University of Strathclyde Departments are organized into five faculties: Law Arts & Social Sciences, Education, Engineering, Science, Strathclyde Business School. University of Strathclyde delivers teaching to over 25,000 full-time and part-time students: 15,000 undergraduates and 10,000 postgraduates. Another 34,000 people take part in continuing education and professional development programmes. Strathclyde enjoys a reputation for excellence in commercially relevant research and innovation, with commitment to entrepreneurship education, and links with business and industry. The university's main campus, John Anderson Campus, is located in the centre of Glasgow, near George Square, and it has an education campus in the suburb of Jordan hill, at the site of the previous Jordanhill Teacher Training College.
