I don’t recommend to anyone wanting to study design (DMEM Department). Computer Lab with PC from 2007, lecturers do not care too much, program very boring and not useful. Met nice people, that’s the only good point.

*PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT* If you are planning to study here at DMEM, please reconsider. The programme is really not that useful, they just give you tasks and assignments and don't teach you any valuable skills. Every year I paid £23,000 and got little in return in terms of a valuable education. The university is solely focused on making money; there is no real teaching of what is being taught. Nothing in the way of actual practice; everything is theory, just the theory that you should learn on your own from youtube. Rather than actually teaching you anything, they can merely assign you tasks. After speaking to the local Scottish students here, they felt the same way about the course but they had no other option. I wanted to leave through third year but because of my student visa I had to just continue on. That's when I felt trapped and depressed as I was tied to this Tier 4 visa and had to finish it or else I wont get another opportunity like this again. After 3 years of this programme, this is what I have gained: - £60,000 in debt - Being trained to handle high workload and meet tight deadlines - Retain Information temporarily for exams That's it... I felt more like an employee rather than a student. Strathclyde is not worth the time or money you will spend there; I am quite certain you will feel the same way I did.

Great university, with nice facilities and a good library. The lecture halls are well lit and spacious. Lecturers clearly know their stuff and present cogent, logically structured lectures.
