About the Scholarship:
More than 120 nations are represented among the 14,000 students at the University of Stirling’s central location. The University of Stirling’s campus, which sits on the shores of a loch, was constructed in an 18th-century castle estate and first opened to the public in 1967. The University of Stirling has certain unique traits outside of its geographical location. A two-semester program with a modular degree structure allows students to begin and finish their studies at any time they choose. Students can readily change their majors because degrees are made up of credits earned through modules. Within 15 months of graduating from Stirling University, 95% of all students were either employed or engaged in post-secondary study (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020, HESA) (International Student Barometer 2016). Students are also encouraged to take part in work-study and internship opportunities. Just two of the initiatives are called “Mastering Your Masters” and “Connecting Institutions with Companies.” If you’re interested in finding out more about the scholarships available to students from outside of the United States and the European Union, check out this page.
