University of Stirling Speciality : Management
programme: Event Management

The University of Stirling benefits from its beautiful location with the entire campus spread across green hills, a Loch and the Wallace Monument peeking in the back scene. However, the buildings from the inside are a mixture of modern and old architecture which are quite hard to navigate through especially as first-year students (even speaking from a third-year perspective!).
I am happy with the flexibility that this degree gives me as during my years most of my modules were entirely up to me, meaning that I could of chosen politics even when studying a business course. This could be quite misleading at the same time though, as the first two years go by without really grounding a homogenous knowledge, making me wonder whether I will be practically suitable for the career that I am pursuing (and not only technically).
The Student Union is great – if you manage to keep up with it and get involved. Many students unfortunately are not very aware of all the great opportunities and events that the union provides because the website and communication means/strategies are quite limited or not developed enough. However, the University is quite small and it’s easy to find out what’s coming or what you missed by walking through the main corridor – which leads you to the student union bar, a solid 10/10 food and drink wise.
On the bright side, the University is vastly international with a third of its student being from overseas (including myself!), which is great. Whether for an international or local students, you will find the support that you need, boosting these brilliant years!
