During the course of my academic studies at the University of Stirling I have multiple times found myself struggling in applying the knowledge learned during the course of the semester to the final assessments. This is because courses are reduced to one/two assignments, which cover only 1/8-2/8 of what has been delivered during lessons and classes, which I believe is particularly counterproductive for students, who are not stimulated to be regular and constant in their continuous studying. I have experienced this issue in first person, since I have never been motivated enough by my teachers to do my best and to show my knowledge, since most of classes only revolve around lectures and seminars, which most people skip most of the times.

Friendly Environment and beautiful campus, the university is very responsive to the students
in any concerns and high-class teaching with global exposure, multicultural student experience. Great career support.

I had a decent experience at the University of Stirling. Academically lecturers were generally supportive and willing to help. The campus is great although it was in construction for most of my time there. The city is very student friendly and not too expensive and is very much a Uni city. A negative would be the sports teams where there was a lack of professionalism and care unless it was the top teams that would represent the university such as sports scholars.

My overall uni experience was very positive. I met my partner of 6 years there and still hang out with the close group of friends I made there. I really enjoyed the chance to do a joint degree in Business and Psychology. I liked that the assignments were few big assignments rather than many little ones. I liked having seminars and workshops where group work could be done. I really enjoyed the social life as well, I joined many clubs, societies and sports. I felt like the gym facilities could have been better though, they’ve improved since I graduated but at the time the gym was in a makeshift container. Also, more healthy vegetarian food options on campus would have been nice. I had the opportunity to do an internship at my university as well which was really good.

I would recommend it because it’s very flexible and engaging. The professors are very good at explaining matters and content, as well as very open to confrontation and help in the assignments. The atmosphere is very enjoyable
