Wonderful campus where everything is available to students. The library creates a nice atmosphere for students to study. Sometimes it can be busy but there are plenty of other facilities to use in that case. The people are always friendly.
Overall it is a great university because lectures tend to be of very high quality, there are a lot of extra resources (ListenAgain, extra-reading, etc...) as well as support sessions for some assignments (e.g. psychology lab report support sessions). Extra guidance is available with the personal advisor scheme. The university has a lot of facilities, including computer labs (although there are not enough computers in the library) and a great library (divided into floor levels according to noise levels e.g. last floor is completely silent). In terms of sports, the Sports Centre has tennis courts, a swimming-pool, a gym and much more.
The university has amazing sporting facilities and has a calm, laid back atmosphere, everyone is very pleasant and the campus is beautiful. There are a range of courses on offer and lots of clubs and societies to take up your free time, it is a great place to learn and most people are helpful and polite.
Absolutely love being at the university of stirling! It's the perfect balance between city life and being in the country. Stirling has given me so many opportunities including the chance to go study abroad next semester and office experience.
I loved studying at Stirling and believe that I picked the right university to earn my degree. The flexibility between the different subjects you can take in the first 3 years is brilliant. Originally my degree was solely in English Studies, however, after taking a few modules in Sociology, I loved it so much that I combined my degree to include it. In addition, the staff are brilliant. They are always available to help you if you need it and couldn't be more supportive.There are so many reasons why I loved studying at Stirling and I can't
Coming to the University of Stirling has made me realise just how much potential I have. This would never have been the case if it wasn't for my degree, the way it is taught, or the environment I am surrounded by. On top of that, I have met some of the best people and lecturers, and am in amazing halls of residence supported by Accommodation Assistants who are supportive, friendly, and polite 24/7!
This university is very good for society's and clubs and interactive learning. The lectures are recorded and the campus is beautiful. The accommodation is too expensive however, and you'll struggle for a health choice of food in the union. The night life is good although Stirling is limited in clubs with only 2 real contenders, students are reasonably priced though. The library is great but make sure to not take out a 24 hour book and its just a way to make money out you with fines! The gym membership is really well priced but you'll struggle to get a space on any of the classes the gym offers with very limited spaces.
I feel that my university has been incredibly encouraging. I have been given many fantastic opportunities during my time there and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about higher education
Amazing university - great subjects, people, lecturers, opportunities, society's, easy to get there from other cities, good amount of facilities in the university
Stirling University's campus is second to none. It is peaceful, tranquil and is the perfect campus to help with your study's. If your looking for a high flying, city campus then this is not the university to you. However, just a 5 minute, £1 bus journey away and your in the heart of Stirling town centre. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both only an hour away on the train.
Fantastic support base for students. Beautiful campus with everything you could need, including cinema theatre and of course the all important pub. So much around about to do when not studying, and such great people. Fantastic being around everyone in the same boat.
All round fantastic university that has given me the opportunity to expand my horizons. I'm in second year about to embark on study abroad and I feel like stirling a Has taught me how to stand on my own two feet
amazing sense of community walking around the campus. Set in a postcard backdrop with the campus to match. Located in a prime location to see scotland. The uni buildings are old but being modernised and are more than fit for purpose
Brilliant! Met lots of great people and had a fantastic 4 years. Beautiful campus too. I really miss looking out my window to see all the wee ducks waddling about outside.
this uni was what I was looking for, good central location in Scotland, gorgeous campus, has a great range of courses, and very flexible. however, its' pretty disorganised, people don't seem to know what's going on most of the time. we were never even given a map of the classes.
I loved my time at Stirling! I was supported, gad opportunities to be a part of the JSSCC and it really helped students' voices be heard! The courses fit my needs and my schedule.
Hub of innovation, and research often underrated. Staff are always willing to discuss ideas, and encourage you to put them forward. The Union does not live up to what it should, and some of the equipment is very dated.
Generally very good though teaching was inconsistent from teacher to teacher (French dept). Overall the social life was good. Loved the campus and found it welcoming and friendly. Staff in accommodation were brilliant - I had issues with anti-social behaviour from other students and they handled it thoroughly.
