Science Without Borders
The University of Stirling is delighted to be participating in the Brazilian Science Without Borders Scholarship Programme, having been selected as one of 110 UK universities to take part. Stirling is looking forward to welcoming students from Brazil as part of this scheme, which aims to enable 100,000 Brazilian students to receive scholarships for Undergraduate and PhD programmes.
Why Stirling?
Stirling has a strong tradition of welcoming international students and, currently, around 23% of the student population is from overseas. With over 100 nationalities represented on campus, international students form a vital part of the campus community and are testament to the University’s inclusive and dynamic spirit.
Sitting just outside Stirling, one of Scotland’s most historic cities, the University campus is regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful – enabling our international students to enjoy studying in a safe and peaceful environment.
Stirling’s state-of-the-art facilities complement its status as one of the UK’s leading research universities across a range of disciplines. Its School of Natural Sciences carries out research which is internationally recognised for its quality and relevance (according to the most recent UK RAE).
The University accepts Science Without Borders students and is keen to promote the following subject areas within the School of Natural Sciences:
- Sustainable Aquaculture
- Aquatic Resources and Environments
- Marine Biosciences and Biotechnology
- Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management
- Computing and Information Technology
- Mathematics
