The University of Strathclyde (Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Shrath Chluaidh[5]) is a public research university located in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1796 as the Andersonian Institute, it is Glasgow's second-oldest university, having received its royal charter in 1964 as the first technological university in the United Kingdom. Taking its name from the historic Kingdom of Strathclyde, its combined enrollment of 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students ranks it Scotland's third-largest university, drawn with its staff from over 100 countries.[6]
The annual income of the institution for 2022–23 was £487.4 million of which £115.8 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £402.3 million.[1]
