A globally connected institution

How can I visit the University?

It is not only the location that draws students and their families to the university. We also offer a programme of study of unrivalled flexibility and choice, based around a semester system. It is possible to start on one degree programme and graduate in an entirely different subject, something about half of our students take advantage of.

But don't just take our word for it. Here at the University of Stirling, we feel it is very important that if you are considering studying at Stirling you should visit the campus to see for yourself what is on offer. These pages provide information on the range of opportunities to come and visit the campus, including open days, talks and tours, applicant days and self-guided visits.

Can't get to the campus? Then you can take a virtual tour: View our videos and virtual tours of the University of Stirling Campus.

Open Days

These are days when school pupils, college students, parents, teachers, careers advisers and anyone else interested in studying at the University of Stirling are welcome to come and visit.

Applicant Days

Applicant days are for those who have applied to the University and, once we have received your application from UCAS, you will be invited to attend one of these events.

Visit Afternoons

Our visit afternoons run throughout the year and are a fantastic opportunity for those thinking of applying to the University of Stirling.

Talk and tour

If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled visit days, but still wish to visit the campus, please contact the Student Recruitment & Admissions Service.

All the above events are free of charge to attend. The University of Stirling wishes to be as accessible as possible and therefore we do not endorse any organisations that charge individuals for visiting the campus.

Student ambassadors

Student Ambassadors are a mixed group of students representing different academic subjects, year groups and nationalities. Ambassadors are students selected for a number of different activities during the academic year including Open Days, Applicant Days, Visit Afternoons and Talk & Tours. They are easily identifiable during a visit to the campus as they will be wearing their black and white T-shirts.

If you are a current student and would like to join our team of ambassadors, please contact the Student Recruitment & Admissions Service on recruitmentsupport@stir.ac.uk for more information. Recruitment of Student Ambassadors usually takes place in the first month of Spring Semester.
