Look out for better options.
Tips: Stirling is a small town with limited opportunities while the University values learning. The dissertation is of utmost importance as the grading system will suddenly be significantly more difficult in the dissertation. Part-time and full time roles are very limited.
Likes (Safety): The city and the campus are very safe at all times considering it's a small student driven town. There are a few very rare instances at the City Center but generally the city is very welcoming to all. I have travelled in the middle of the night and never faced any issues.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are uncommon everywhere in the UK. If students are keen they look for summer projects by themselves as the university doesn't provide such facilities specially in a 1 year Masters programme as the independent project/ dissertation falls in the summer break.

It’s actually a good university but a hard place to work with part time jobs.
Tips: The accommodation and its rules and transportation are a bit expensive apart from the student discount. It's a hard cultural shock for anyone who's a vegetarian. Make sure you do proper research on the coursework or else it's gonna be hard on you in the future.
Likes (Safety): Pretty good city and people. It's very safe even to walk during late at night. The place is fully equipped with CCTV and there is good police surveillance which is very good and important. Though there are a few people who act in a radical way towards students but it's just fine.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to the UK immigration lawns it's very hard on students and due to this part time jobs are limited and then the full time roles are very hard to get in due to the fact of the current rules. No proper facilities on the basis of healthcare and you're going to suffer.

Extremely understanding and helpful faculty.
Tips: Students should know about their faculty, the ranking of that course or programme whichever they are doing. A 4000 scholarship is provided by the university. I am extremely satisfied with the University of Stirling not only in terms of study but also the environment here.
Likes (Safety): I mostly enjoy my student life while doing my assignment in the library. I believe the University of Stirling library is the most beautiful library I have ever come across. The University of Stirling organizes and celebrates every kind of festivals be it Holi, Eid or Diwali. I was part of the South Asian community club.
Dislikes (Internships): I had the privilege to be taught by faculty not only from the UK but throughout the world. The professors here are super friendly with more focus on a practical approach and they also care about the well being of the students and also making industry ready.

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.

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.

University of Stirling has a beautiful campus with all the facilities for sports and fitness.
Tips: The cultural shifts are quite ok and not a big deal. But the issue is managing the expenses and finding a part time job is really harder. Moreover, the timetable at this university is little stressful. So, it will become harder again to get a part time job and lastly the attendance are important to successfully complete the masters.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculties at the university are well qualified and have experience. Good learning experience as the teachers are good at teaching. Faculties at this university is really helpful in preparation of assignments and they guide you to prepare the assignments and conduct seminars.
Dislikes (Part time work): Getting a part time job opportunity in Stirling is difficult and also an on campus opportunity will be extremely difficult. It's a small city or you can say it's a village and the city depends on the university. Managing the part time job and student life is stressful. Even getting a part time job is a luck. It's not a big city to find more part time job opportunities. Working far away and traveling to the workplace is an another hurdle as it's expensive. Can't manage the expenses.
