Things to do
Visit the Student Welcome and Support Hub
The Student Welcome and Support Hub is where you can get all the information and support you need to get started at the University of Stirling. The hub will open a few days before the start of semester.
You'll be able to get help with enrolment, get support on visas and immigration, ask queries about finance and get help with setting up your IT equipment. Student Support Services will be on hand to answer any other questions you have and there's a free University goody bag for all who attend.

Meet friends, find out more and have some fun!
In your first few weeks we will run a range of on campus and online events and activities to help you meet friends and have fun. There is also a range of events designed to help you settle in, find out how things work at university and develop the skills you need to succeed and be happy at Stirling. The fun and support does not end after week one, our student life programme Be Connected continues throughout semester with a range of activities.
