The University of Stirling is a progressive university in education and sport. Most of the lecturer's are always happy to help in person or through email account. It sits in one of the most beautiful landscapes I could imagine, its scenery can be therapeutic and calming. My lecturer's on my course are all down to earth and make learning a happy experience. I really don't like the breaks we have as I tend to be lazy in my learning and feel that there could be less breaks and keep me energised to stud and learn. Thank you.
Good university that seeks to improve it's self. Unfortunately this happened only once i'm at the end of my studies, I would have liked to have made use of the personal tutor scheme in my first year.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University. My course was really interesting and I found all of the academic staff involved to be very helpful and knowledgeable.
Great experience at uni. Good classes, very good lecturers. Staff was always helpful and supportive. Good study life balance. Very good support for overseas students.
My education was good but the short semesters left me extremely stressed and without time to take proper breaks from studying. The campus was beautiful, especially in the summer semesters. My travel expenses were cut, leaving me struggling to afford books, food and travel.
I'm in second year and can honestly say the last two years at Stirling have been amazing. I have met great people and love the community feel of campus (which is stunning!). I know by the time fourth year comes it will be extremely hard to leave.
Course wasn't as expected and was two subjects mashed together to create another however I enjoyed the Clubs, Societies and Sports activities the Students' Union offered.
Course did not teach much about the practical aspects of the real world (i.e. Marketing); academic theory can only go so far. Poor alumni relations - clear to see that the alumni dept is aiming more at fundraising rather than relations.
Brilliant uni, amazing facilities and courses. And a gorgeous campus - great fun in the sping/summer. Would recommend to everyone. Supportive staff and challenging but fulfilling courses.
Overall, I had a really positive experience at Stirling. The campus environment suited students like me who had come from small communities. There were students from all over and a good variety of clubs to get involved in, with a strong focus on sport.
Beautiful campus, great courses. Fantastic union. The carrying outwith the union is too expensive now it's changed to the new company and they could do with doing up the atrium and having more seats there in the daytime.
Stirling uni in my eyes meets the needs of all students and goes above and beyond to enhance our experience here. The lecturers are fantastic, as are the facilities available to us. There is a real sense of community around the campus. The scenery around the camus also adds to the atmosphere
Very good location, excellent teaching staff and resources with support from many different departments. Very nice location that during the summer is very serene. A great atmosphere to learn in with one of the highest job prospect percentages in the United Kingdom.
Beautiful campus, which is isolated from town. In my opinion I think that's an advantage, as you don't get distracted from all the different things, which happen at town. However, you could say that you get bored after a while, you can't just simply walk into town because you'll need to take the bus. The campus itself is gorgeous with the loch in the middle. Sport facilities are superb! I mean who else has a proper golf course on campus. The university buildings are but outdated and seriously need to be rebuild. Especially the atrium part! As an INTO student you study most of your time at the Airthrey castle, which is situated right next to the golf course. Teaching wise everything is fine and you have the luxury to literally tailor your own degree. Stirling itself is a small town, with really low living costs, that's always a good plus.
The university is friendly and the smaller lecture sizes compared to some other unis means support from lecturers and the amount of one to one student and lecturer time can be high. The facilities available, at least for my degree, are pretty good and all the teaching staff are keen and engaging.
Stirling University is perfect for people who want fantastic views while walking to and from classes. The facilities are great; the gym, the library and lecture theatres are all convenient and have a clean, fresh atmosphere. There is plenty to do due to the large amount of clubs and societies, therefore you're never bored!
Lovely campus and environment, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The city itself is quite small, but as a first experience away from home I would recommend it.
Great university with fantastic study abroad opportunities. I studied abroad in both China and the USA. These study abroad experiences really helped in me getting employment and were invaluable life experiences. There are an array of places to study globally with high applicant success so get applying if you study here!

Had a brilliant undergraduate experience at Stirling. Graduated in 2007 with BA (Hons) English. The staff in the Faculty are 1st class. I would love to return for postgraduate study in the future.
