We value community at the University of Stirling, and we invite all parents, carers and family to get involved with us. You can register for the Family Programme and can attend our Open Days and welcome sessions.
The Family Programme
Our Family Programme offers parents and family the opportunity to get involved and become part of our wider community. Membership is free, and includes:
- receiving the University of Stirling magazine ‘Stirling Minds’
- regular e-newsletters
- invitations to events
We’ll also keep you up-to-date on University news, events and developments.
Email alumni@stir.ac.uk to find out more about the Family Programme.
Events for parents and carers
Open Days
Parents and family members are welcome to attend our annual Open Days. These include tours of campus, presentations and talks, and have a range of information desks where you can speak to University staff – including academics and current students. We also hold applicant days and visit afternoons.
We’d love to show you around our university. See more about Open Days and other ways to visit us.
