FAQs

• Will I receive an offer letter?
  
  Your offer has been passed to our Student Experience & Enhancement Services (SEES) team. They will complete a final check on your application and, once satisfied, will process your offer, which generates a pdf offer letter within your Pegasus application record. Your offer letter will contain a date by which you should accept or decline your offer. When conditions are met, your offer letter is automatically updated to reflect this.
• What is the deadline to satisfy all the conditions attached to my offer?
  
  We do not have a formal deadline. We operate a rolling admissions system and courses will close once the required number of students has satisfied all their conditions and have a confirmed place on the course. Generally, this takes place between June and August.
• I’ve received an administrative condition on my offer stating “Provide satisfactory confirmation of Academic Progress” – what does this mean? (International Students only)
  
  t is a requirement of UKVI that the university gathers information about your education, including periods of study undertaken previously in the UK. SEES may ask you to complete a short set of questions to satisfy themselves that you meet these UKVI requirements. If SEES emails you a short questionnaire, please respond as quickly as possible to ensure that there is no delay in processing your final documentation and CAS.
• When do I receive my CAS – Confirmation of Acceptance for Study? (International students only)
  
  When you have satisfied all academic, administrative and financial conditions and have accepted your offer online, SEES will upload to your Pegasus file a pdf of your Final Letter of Acceptance and will email your CAS. Please note that SEES will issue CAS from around April each year. If you have satisfied all conditions before this date, your CAS will be amongst the first to be issued in April.
• When will I receive a reading list and joining instructions for my course?
  
  Joining instructions will be sent to you a month or so before your course starts. You will collect your reading list, course handbook and timetable when you arrive at the university. Your Academic Course Director has designed the course so that every student receives this information at the same time at the start of the course.
• Can I contact other students at Strathclyde, or those who will be coming in September?
  
  We manage closed facebook groups for students who have met all academic, administrative and financial conditions coming to SBS which tend to go live around May/June prior to our programmes starting in September. In addition, students and alumni are active on other social networking sites, such as LinkedIn too.
• Will the university help me find a job?
  
  The university has an award-winning Careers Service which works with students to help develop the skills and knowledge required to enter the jobs market. The Careers Service does not match students with jobs or provide placements, but does make our students aware of vacancies in appropriate sectors as they arise and provides a wealth of career planning resources. In addition to the University Careers Service, MBA students also have access to a dedicated careers resource within the Strathclyde Business School who will work with our MBA students throughout their period of study.
• What about opportunities to work after graduating?
  
  Our Masters courses have a very strong record of employment, with most students finding suitable work within three months of graduating. We cannot guarantee that you will be successful if finding your perfect job, but our Careers Service will help to prepare you for entering the competitive job market in your chosen field. International Students should familiarise themselves with UKVI's regulations with regards to post-study work and information is also available on our website here.
• Who can I contact for help before I come to Glasgow/come to the UK?
  
  If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We know this is a major decision, and we want you to be completely happy with your choice of course and study location. The University’s information point for international students is helpful not just for international students but to anyone moving to Glasgow from elsewhere: http://www.strath.ac.uk/sees/infoint/ and is full of useful information on everything from Accommodation, Council Tax, bills, registering with a bank or Doctor to arranging a mobile phone contract. This is updated throughout the year and will help prepare you for your time with us.
