3.1

Excellent faculty but fewer part-time jobs.

Tips: The transition after coming here was quite difficult as I was not familiar with the climate. The people were quite good and polite. As of now, everything is going well. Finally, the University is good for sports and the gym at the university is an advantage for us.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at this University are quite good at teaching and are experts in their field of subjects. Moreover, their experiences and knowledge of the subjects make it easy for students to understand the topic. The majority of faculty at this University are Scottish people. More than 95% of staff are from Scotland.

Dislikes (Part time work): The part-time jobs are fewer or I can say difficult to get one as it is a small city. The city doesn't even have the size of Mysore. The population in this city is also very low. Managing a part-time job and university education is quite challenging as we have classes four days a week. The tight timetable is also an issue to the part time job.

An experience of lifetime at the University of Stirling

Tips: The university provides around 4000 pounds scholarship to Indian students to support with the application. It was a wonderful experience being a part of the University and travelling to Scotland. Different culture, yet very accepting and welcoming apart from the sightseeing you can do a lot in Scotland.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are approachable and very well learned. You get to learn a lot from them if you keep yourself active. Teaching was a mix of theoretical and practical learning with real-life examples and workshops. Professors are from across the globe thus showing that University of Stirling is a diverse employer.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement depends on individuals and if you get a job of choice. There are many students who prefer to come back to their home country after graduation. And those who prefer to stay either go for sponsorship from the companies or sponsor themselves for at least couple of years (Graduate Route Visa). I preferred to return back to India to be around my people.

Pretty average, would recommend only for finance.

Tips: Before joining the University of Stirling, I suggest knowing your course and checking for numerous scholarships. The location and amenities of the school are amazing, and the campus is large enough that it has plenty of various activities. I have met people who have turned into family. Unfortunately, there are some issues, such as racism that some staff members have, and they cancel classes for their protests, so I had to self-teach most of the course.

Likes (Student Life): The people and culture here are amazing. I met some absolutely crazy people who are now like family. There's always something happening on the weekends, and the library is great for late-night studying. The South Asian club organises tons of events, which is a great way to meet people from your own country.

Dislikes (Internships): This university is good in terms of its amenities, but it has no placements, gives little training for jobs and CV guidance, has mostly useless courses, and markets these courses to international students to make money. They also don't provide internships for my area of study.

Best study destination for international students

Tips: There is a bit problem with part time jobs in Stirling but with time you can find one. Otherwise, it's the best study destination for international students. Faculties are always ready to help. Personal tutors are assigned to each and every student so that one can have a buddy available every time for help.

Likes (Student Life): The atmosphere here at the university of Stirling is amazing. And all the relevant facilities are available around the campus. Personal tutors are assigned to each and every student so that one can have a buddy available to solve all the problems. The most important sports facilities are amazing here at Stirling.

Dislikes (Value for money): Until you don't have a job in the UK it's expensive to spend Indian money in pounds. Finding part-time jobs is quite difficult in starting but if you keep pushing it and have a clear vision you will get a job for sure. Don't hesitate in doing any work rather accept it as a challenge and overcome it.

Reputed college with good reviews

Tips: College is quite good but students who are really studious and keen to learn should opt for this university. As assignments provided are really of master's level and you will learn a lot if you are serious about your career. Please book your hostel accommodation in advance. Commutation from Stirling to Glasgow, Stirling to Edinburgh is affordable and less time consuming. Overall good college.
