Strathclyde SKIL Business School (SSBS) students enjoy the best of both educational worlds


With a campus ranging from the Indian sub-continent to Glasgow,Scotland students at the Strathclyde SKIL Business School truly experience the best of both worlds.Fifty per cent of the SSBS faculty will be from Strathclyde Business School (SBS) as part of the faculty exchange and, at the start of their second year, SSBS students will spend a term at Strathclyde University’s Business School in Glasgow, Scotland providing them with cross-culture experience along with global exposure while studying with large number of nationalities (there are more that 100 nationalities studying at Strathclyde).

As Dean Bhimaraya Metri said “The long-term partnership between the University of Strathclyde and SKIL is underpinned by the University of Strathclyde’s academic heritage and business acumen, in combination with the thirst for knowledge in India’s booming new economy”. The combination of skills and expertise in Scotland and India gives the partnership a platform to provide excellent education that is wholly relevant to India’s global economic role.”Equal to the top business schools in the world, the focus of Strathclyde Business School’s faculty and research centers on how theory relates to practice and how practice helps to develop theory- the departments are regularly recognized for their contributions to teaching and research.

In reality, SSBS’s campus is global. A student in Noida can chat with someone sitting in Switzerland or the United States and get their views and opinions on the various aspects of management with the online platforms used by Strathclyde: Myplace, Pegasus, Mpegasus, Spider, Mercury, and Nemo. And through the university’s Business Information System (BIS) students have updated information resources at their fingertips, along with personal, informal advice from the BIS team.But not only will SSBS students benefit from the teaching, cross-cultural experience and cutting-edge facilities Strathclyde and Strathclyde Skil have to offer, they will also benefit from their shared international accreditation.

Strathclyde is among the top 20 business schools in Europe and is among only 55 worldwide to have the triple accreditations from Association of MBAs (AMBA), Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). Scotland’s Education Secretary Michael Russell said in a visit to the SSBS Greater Noida campus “Scottish universities are renowned across the world for the quality of their learning, teaching and research, and Strathclyde is amongst our best.”SSBS is not merely a transplant of the Scottish institute into India but has been specifically developed to suit both Scotland and India, he said, noting “It is innovative and I am very much in favour of innovation.”
