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.

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.

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.
