A good uni overall, easy to navigate around and a nice campus. Not a lot to do to socialise, boring. Manageable workload however unorganised at times which can be frustrating. Hard to get in contact with lecturers as they can be unprofessional at times. Never really recovered after COVID times.

For the course itself, I had a fabulous time. Although shifting my major from geography to finance was challenging, I am grateful that Stirling accepted me as a student and provided me with the opportunity to pursue this new area of interest. From the very first day of classes, I was warned that this course would require significant time invested in preparation. Having lecturers that were willing to assist me was indeed a plus. It was difficult for me to go through the course as a student with almost no prior experience in the field of finance and investments; nevertheless, every teacher was really helpful in answering our questions and guiding us through the material presented in the seminars. When I was a freshman in college, I remember i was panicking because I didn’t understand the material and everyone else around me appeared to. It was the for financial reporting module. after that I confronted my professor and let him know I was having a hard time. I told him I was lost and concerned that I wouldn’t do well enough in his module. “We’ll get through this” he reassured me, “so relax”. He even offered his office as a place for me to work on sample exam questions. I will never forget his incredible generosity and genuine concern for myself and my fellow students.

The enrollment in investment analysis was low, with only a few students exceeding that number. Teachers will be able to identify us more easily, and was able to assist us better. We were a pretty exclusive group, so I appreciate that they could recognise us right away.

However, I only rated it at 4 stars because, having completed the course, I find it to be largely theoretical. Although I appreciate that this is a CFA-affiliated course, which implies that it was developed by CFA and is prepared in accordance with CFA’s standards (which is fantastic), I feel that I would benefit from additional hands-on experience applying the concepts we’ve covered in class.

Apart from that, I’ve had a fantastic trip overall. I’m happy with my decision to study at Stirling since I was able to connect with fascinating people from all around the world.

It was a great adventure to meet a lot of students from different international countries. The school’s location is perfect and ambient environment with top notch educational facilities. Lesson delivery of top class
