The University of Strathclyde Business Administration Club was formed in 1967 to provide students with leisure and academic activities.
The Postgraduate Club existed to promote the interests, both academic and social, of postgraduate students in the University and to act as a channel of communication to the Students Association on postgraduate affairs.
The University of Strathclyde had a long association with Norwegian students. This developed in scale at the end of World War II when Norwegian students, who had tended to go to the northern German universities, turned towards Scotland. Arrangements were made for the admission of a substantial number from 1945 onwards, who studied almost exclusively in the field of engineering.
In 1966, the understanding between the two countries was signalised by the acceptance by His Majesty King Olav V of the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws and by the appointment of the Principal of the University, Dr. S.C. Curran, as Commander of the Order of St. Olav.
The Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps was created in 1965 following a merger of the Glasgow University Officers Training Corps and the University of Strathclyde Officers Training Corps.
The Officers Training Corps provided a link between the armed services and the universities, giving an opportunity for students to see how the armed services operated. It also gave basic military training to students considering joining the Regular and Territorial Armies.
Any student at any College of Further Education in Glasgow (Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities, Paisley Technical College, Jordanhill, Notre Dame, Glasgow College of Technology and Building) was elible to join the Officers Training Corps.
The Universities Royal Naval Unit in Glasgow was formed in September 1971. It was for the benefit of male undergraduates.
The principal aim of the unit was to foster interest in nautical affairs in general, and in the Royal Navy in particular. To achieve this, instruction was given in all naval subjects, although emphasis was given to navigation and seamanship. The intention was to give members of the unit sufficient training for them to pass the Sub-lieutenant, Royal Naval Reserve examinations in the second year and the Board of Trade Yachtmasters Coastal Certificate examinations in the third year.
CACTUS (Community Action at the University of Strathclyde) is an opportunity for students to be more involved with the local community.
Human Resources was created in 2007. It replaced the Personnel Office.
The Geological Society of Glasgow aimed to unite, into a recognised body, all the friends and advocates of geological science residing in Glasgow and the surrounding districts and to encourage and cultivate geological science generally.
Meetings were held at the Glasgow Athenaeum and there appear to have been links with the Glasgow Mechanics' Institution and Anderson's Institution.

The Academic Practice Committee was concerned with teaching and examination methods and student progress. It reported to the Senate. In 2000, it was replaced by the Academic Committee.
