Supporting you at University
While University is about finding your own way, it helps to know you can get advice and support from people who have been there before
you.
Support at the ISC
While studying on the Undergraduate Certificate you will have automatic access to a full range of student counselling and support services available at the International Study Centre (ISC). The team of student advisers at the ISC are there to help with any personal, financial or academic difficulties you might have. They will help you to settle in quickly during your first few days and will be available throughout your studies.
Support when you Progress onto your Degree
When you move into the second year of your undergraduate studies, your support continues. The University has a strong support network, offering services that help you make the most of your time at Stirling, and also help you plan for life afterwards.
International and Study Abroad Office
Each year, the University's International and Study Abroad Office (ISAO) welcomes students to Stirling from all over the world. From the day you begin your Undergraduate Certificate programme you will become a valued member of Stirling's wider student community, and the ISAO team will ensure that your time at the University is as rewarding and enjoyable as possible.
Disability Information and Guidance
The University provides a range of services for students with disabilities with the aim of enabling full participation in university life. Many students with disabilities are successfully undertaking study at Stirling.
Most areas of the campus are accessible to wheelchair users, and some accommodation has specially adapted facilities. For academic work, there is a range of equipment and information technology, including a dedicated computing facility located within the residence area of campus.
Counselling and Well-being
Counselling is a free and confidential service, providing you with the opportunity to talk in private about anything that might affect your ability to study effectively. The aim is to help you to understand things more clearly so that you can make decisions about what you want to do, or how you want to do it.
Students' Association Welfare Service
Stirling University Students' Association (SUSA) offers its own welfare service, including Nightline, a confidential listening and information service. The majority of people working for SUSA are students themselves and know from personal experience the questions or problems that can arise from time to time. See more about SUSA activities.
Health Services
As a full-time student you are entitled to free medical and dental treatment under the National Health Service. During your time at University, it is recommended that you register with a local doctor. There is a General Medical Practice located in the Medical Centre on campus, as well as a Dental Centre.
Career Planning and Support
The University's Career Development Centre can help you find out about potential careers and to take the right steps to get a job that suits you or a place on a further programme of study. The Centre's wide range of resources and services develop the skills which will help you manage your career throughout your life.
The Chaplaincy
The Chaplaincy works to encourage the well-being of the University community. In addition to offering confidential spiritual and pastoral care, it organises worship, discussion and social events. Although worship is predominantly Christian, provision is made for other religious traditions, such as Muslim and Jewish, and the Chaplaincy will put new students in touch with the nearest representatives from their own religious group. The University provides a prayer room for use by Muslim students.
Business start-up support
Named by some students as the most useful thing they did at Stirling. This programme lets you try your hand at starting a business. You’ll get office space, a phone and PC, plus access to business practitioners, funding and a range of other benefits. It’s free, and has been hugely successful: one student was the subject of a Channel 4 documentary.
