<b><u>UK-based and international employer contacts</u></b>. All employers, regardless of location, are given equal weighting, and so this could be a contact at a local school who employs our graduates, or a small business that like to employ Strathclyde graduates

<b>academic survey</b>, there is an 85% weighting for international contacts. This means we generally ask for international contacts to be returned to us. However, if you have a UK-based contact who you think would vote for Strathclyde, then do share their
contact details as this is more useful than an international contact who won’t vote for us.

weighted in the same way as a professor, and so we would be grateful if you could bear this in mind when providing contacts – it is the number of votes that we are scored on, and not the level of seniority of the person, of the prestige of the organisation
