The cost of studying at University of Strathclyde largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £26,100 annually, to study in University of Strathclyde.

Software Development graduates are highly employable and can look forward to well-paid professional careers. They design and build the digital technologies that underpin the global economy and every aspect of human activity. This can range from recreation and healthcare to business and the natural environment.

Job market analysis (Tech Nation Report 2023) shows that Software Developer/Engineer roles continue to be among the most common positions. Furthermore, the presence of specialised roles, such as front-end developers, full-stack developers and quality assurance engineers, indicates a growing demand for professionals with specialised skills. Recent analysis of the skills and talent gaps (Tech Nation Report 2023) shows that the most in-demand programming skills are around mobile applications, with Java still being the most popular programming language used for building software. These are key skills developed as part of this course.
