University of Strathclyde Business School (SBS) Scholarships

Founded in 1948, the University of Strathclyde Business School (SBS) is a pioneering, internationally renowned academic organisation that shapes and develops the business minds of tomorrow.

Strathclyde Business School is one of four faculties forming the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The University was established in 1796 as 'the place of useful learning' and this remains at the forefront of our vision today for Strathclyde to be a leading international technological university that makes a positive difference to the lives of its students, to society and to the world.

SBS has established international centres in Greece, Switzerland, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Singapore and Malaysia. With around 150 academic staff and more than 3000 full-time and part-time students (undergraduate and postgraduate), Strathclyde Business School’s subject departments and specialist units collaborate to provide a dynamic, fully-rounded and varied programme of specialist and cross-disciplinary courses.

We are a triple accredited business school: the first business school in Scotland to hold this accolade, and one of only 88 in the world (July 2018, MBA Today), to be triple accredited, holding accreditation from the international bodies, AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS. We have held all three accreditations since 2004. Our departments and programmes also hold internationally recognised industry accreditations:

• Department of Work, Employment & Organisation is a CIPD approved centre
• Department of Accounting and Finance accredited by CIMA and ICAS
• Our Hospitality & Tourism degrees are accredited by the Institute of Hospitality

More recently, we were awarded the Small Business Charter Gold Award – joining an elite group of institutions at the forefront of entrepreneurship in the UK. SBS is now one of only five universities in the UK to have the Gold Award, recognising its world-leading support for scaling Scottish firms through innovation, internationalisation and leadership.

In addition to our international accreditation, Strathclyde has a reputation for research excellence. Based on the REF (Research Excellence Framework) 2014 GPA scores, the Times Higher Education ranked us first in Scotland and in the top 10 business schools in the UK for its research. Times Higher Education also ranked us 3rd in the UK for Impact of our business research, based on the REF’s GPA scores, a measure of how the research impacts on practise in business.

We have firm roots in the business community in and around our home city of Glasgow which extends not only nationally but internationally. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach to working alongside industry building mutually beneficial relationships which add value to both organisations and individuals alike.
