Ecology and Conservation BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The best part of UoS is that the campus looks amazing and there is plenty of student support. The sports center is new and offers a lot of interesting sports classes. On the downside, accommodation is becoming relatively expensive compared that what you're getting (and it will increase more). Also, the cafes/places to eat, and especially the mini-market (Nisa) on campus are also quite expensive compared to other universities.

BA (Hons) Sports Studies

University rating (4)

The University of Stirling has been a great place for me to study. The campus is beautiful and the city is charming. Professors are very friendly, always willing to help, and good at explaining difficult subjects. It's easy to make connections with classmates and lecturers in person. The professors are mostly accessible and quick to respond if help is needed. Stirling is close to Glasgow and Edinburgh, which makes it easy to visit those cities by public transportation. However, the campus food could benefit from more variety. The University of Stirling is a lively place with plenty of events happening on campus and a large number of clubs and societies. It's not just about studying, there's a lot happening here. Overall, the University of Stirling is a dynamic experience with a great blend of academics, community, and adventure.

Journalism Studies BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

The campus is beautiful, full of nature and opportunities to enjoy the setting. It feels safe and welcoming. The on-campus facilities are fantastic and varied, from cafes to shops. Nothing is lacking. Student life is very good, the only downside is the lack of student-aimed businesses in the city of Stirling, and the lack of reliability of Unilink into the city after around 6 pm.

Journalism Studies and Politics BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

Attitude towards commuter students is shocking with the university almost perpetuating the idea that you should only be coming to Stirling if you stay on campus. The location while beautiful is also a difficult one to commute to for many which makes the ignorant attitude towards commuters especially frustrating. The facilities are sub par especially for commuting students, parking infrastructure is embarrassing and elements of campus, while efforts have been made to modernize them, are in dire need of a complete rebuild in order to compete with other universities in Scotland. The lecturers are generally strong and provide interesting lectures however online classes should be minimized as they dont allow for a full and effective learning experience. The student life is very solid with plenty of societies, on-site eateries and the uni link provides an unparalleled transport option that other unis should strive towards. The student union is solid but could do with being more lively mid-semester and the Raac issues must be resolved. Overall the university itself is solid but it has a shockingly bad attitude towards commuter students to the point it would be ridiculous to recommend unless you are only commuting from the local area.

MSc International Business

University rating (4)

My University has all kinds of facilities, the beauty of Loch is worth seeing and it is very good. The timetable schedule of classes is also very well made. Academic helpers like workshops, seminar are so pleasing. but perhaps we are not taught that much about how to do assignments and write references. also we were given one day's time between coming to the student accommodation and the start of classes. which I found wrong.

The atrium is great but the union could be better - it doesn't really feel like a student union.
