Since starting my postgraduate studies at Stirling University, it has been an overall positive experience. The academic content and support has been consistent throughout, allowing us to get a well-rounded education.

However, disorganisation will often bring the experience down. For example, the new attendance app implemented this year rarely works and therefore our attendance isn’t always recorded. Strikes have occurred which means we aren’t being informed whether classes are on and in some instances, I’ve waited over 2 months to get feedback on coursework. This then meant I was going into the new semester, without knowing I had passed the previous one.

It really is a great uni, but there are just a few issues of organisation and communication that can be refined.

I have been here for the past 3 years and am happy I chose this uni. It is definitely not the best at organization or student support, as I had to start University late because of the lack of accommodation and was completely ignored when asking for help. Besides this, I am very happy with the course and appreciate the ability to take on two different career paths at once.

I like the way Stirling structures its courses. In the first and second years, you’re able to study a range of subjects that aren’t related to your degree and this gives you the opportunity to explore other areas and even change your degree. The campus is beautiful and everyone seems to know or know of everyone. For the most part, staff are really helpful, nice and passionate about their subject. I enjoyed my course and felt it gave me the skills necessary to succeed in the future.
