Universit y Support and Facilities
Collaborative ventures with the
Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde
are encouraged, and both institutions
can assist tenant companies with any
problems they may have of a technical
or a business nature.
Strathclyde University is one of
Britain’s main centres of teaching and
research in science and engineering. Its
long-established engineering departments
– mechanical, civil, marine, chemical, and
electrical – are vigorous and innovative,
and it has an outstanding record of
achievement in the newer technologies,
including electronics, computer science,
biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and
offshore technology.
The University’s technology strength
is complemented by the resources of
Strathclyde Business School, one of
the largest schools of business and
administration in Europe, and a major
centre of expertise in finance, economics,
industrial relations, law and marketing.
Glasgow University is the fifth oldest
University in Britain and, as such, it has
helped to set the standards in teaching
and scholarship for which British
Universities are famous.
The University has over 120
departments but has particular
strength in the following areas:
• Biotechnology
• Human and animal vaccine
development
• Lasers in medicine and surgery
• Marine and ocean engineering
technology
• Basic and applied immunology
• Microwave thermography in diagnostics
• Integral optics, fibre optics and
laser communications.
In addition to this technical excellence,
the University can also boast of fine
business management knowledge and
skills. Tenant companies on the Science
Park are encouraged to utilise the
strengths of the Universities, either
through consultation or collaboration.
Tenants have access to many of the
facilities of the Universities, including
libraries and computing services.
