The University
The University of Stirling is a leading UK teaching and research-intensive university, created by Royal Charter in 1967. Since its foundation, the University has embraced its role as an innovative, intellectual and cultural institution with a pioneering spirit and a passion for excellence in all that it does.
In 2016, the University launched its current Strategic Plan http://www.stir.ac.uk/about/our-strategy/ (2016-2021), with targets to: be one of the top 25 universities in the UK; increase income by £50 million; enhance its research profile by 100 per cent; and ensure internationalisation is at the heart of everything it does.
With three-quarters of its research ranked world-leading and internationally-excellent (Research Excellence Framework 2014), the University’s groundbreaking, interdisciplinary research makes a difference to society and has a positive impact on communities worldwide. With key strengths in the fields of health and behaviour, global security and resilience – and cultures, communities and society – the University collaborates with international governments and policymakers, businesses, industry, and charitable organisations, to tackle and provide solutions to some of the toughest global societal challenges.
The essence of the University is its great people: its graduates, staff (1,500+), students (14,000+) and alumni (82,000+) are helping to shape the world. Stirling is a truly global institution, and was ranked in the top 150 most international universities, in the 2016 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. In 2017, the University also reached 46th place in the world – and 2nd in the UK – in THE’s international list of top universities under the age of 50. With more than 120 nationalities represented on campus, Stirling is a university of distinction and an employer of choice.
Stirling’s leading researchers, scholars and global student population are attracted by the University’s unique learning environment, exceptional facilities, beautiful campus and student-centred approach, where ability, not background, is recognised and valued.
Equality and diversity, and treating everyone with respect, are central to the University’s ethos and activities. Stirling promotes equality and celebrate diversity through a variety of initiatives. The University is proud to hold an Athena SWAN Bronze award http://www.stir.ac.uk/equalityanddiversity/athenaswan/ – the national charter recognising best practice in advancing women’s careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine.
The University is located in the city of Stirling; the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. The 330-acre campus encompasses a loch, a golf course and the 18th-century Airthrey Castle. It is undoubtedly one of the most attractive campuses in Europe: the virtual campus tour provides a flavour of what to expect.
