As well as a beautiful campus, Stirling has a strong reputation for humanities, and Philosophy in particular.

There's always a lot going on on-campus, whatever you're interested in and you quickly get to know all sorts of people.

Which aspects of the programme did you enjoy the most?

A wide variety of modules are available, but if a particular area interests you, there will be modules that allow you to focus specifically on that.

How did your time at University make you more employable? For example, did you undertake placements, work experience, engage with employers through your programme, act as class rep, get involved with the Student’s Union? What key skills did you develop?

Being involved in the university's societies helped me become more confident which is attractive to employers.

Make sure you live on campus for first year to make the most of the campus, societies and other students.
