UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING
Profile
Since its foundation, the University of Stirling has embraced its role as an innovative, intellectual and cultural institution with a pioneering spirit and a passion for excellence.
It’s an exciting time to join us. Launched in April 2024, our new Strategic Plan (https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/strategic-plan/) builds on our significant achievements to date and sets out our shared vision to 2030, with a focus on how we make an impact on people’s lives and be a force for good in the world.
As we move forward, the University aims to be at the forefront of a new era for education and will focus on enhancing the student and staff experience, increasing our research excellence, strengthening our partnerships and becoming more sustainable, bolstering our international reputation, and improving the health and wellbeing of our community and those in wider society.
More than 17,500 students study with the University of Stirling globally, with over 140 nationalities represented on our scenic central Scotland campus. The campus – also home to 1,800 staff – has its own loch and castle, and a recent multi-million-pound redevelopment, Campus Central, has delivered modern, flexible, and digitally connected study and social spaces at the heart of campus, including enhanced student support and retail and catering outlets. Our campus environment is ranked first in the UK and top 10 in the world !!!
Stirling was shortlisted for University of the Year 2024 at the Times Higher Education Awards and is the proud holder of a Silver institutional award from the Athena Swan Charter, in recognition of its commitment to advancing gender equality.
Stirling is Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence and its recently redeveloped world-class facilities provide the perfect training environment for the University’s sports scholars – many of whom compete at the highest level, including at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games – and for students, staff, and the wider community.
Our City
Also known as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’, Stirling is the perfect place to work and study. It combines the charm of a historic city with the buzz of a young community. Stirling is in the historic and geographical heart of Scotland with quick access to Scotland’s two largest cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and beautiful wild scenery.
The City of Stirling has been voted the happiest place in Scotland to live (Rightmove Happy at Home Index 2024).
The city will also benefit from the Stirling and Clackmannanshire City Region Deal, a £214 million investment in the future of the region which offers an unprecedented opportunity for businesses, researchers and innovators to work strategically to unlock productivity, and inclusive, sustainable growth.
Our Campus
Our beautiful, accessible 330-acre campus is a gorgeous place to call home. It has an iconic sports centre with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, medical centre and pharmacy, Macrobert Arts Centre cinema and theatre, and a variety of shops, restaurants and cafés.
Our People
Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Wherever they work, our dedicated teams are committed to enhancing our student experience. They shape our environment, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students and people. They create and maintain our facilities, promoting collaboration and community engagement. They drive cutting-edge research, tackling local, regional, and global challenges. They educate and empower our students, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.
To ensure that the University’s wider strategic aims are met, we have developed a new People Strategy. The People Strategy serves as the guiding compass that shapes our work and people-related initiatives over the next few years.
Being future-ready means investing in our people’s health and wellbeing, continuing to evolve our innovative approach to progressive working practices, and further building an inclusive environment that responds to each individual’s diverse range of needs and expectations.
Staff health and wellbeing is supported by an Employee Assistance Programme, generous annual leave, members rates at our sports facilities, and family friendly policies. Our benefits also include membership of the Universities Superannuation Scheme.
Our Agile Working Framework enables dynamic, progressive working practices that support agility, inclusion, growth, and high performance.
At Stirling, we’re committed to fostering a culture where everybody can realise their aspirations, feel connected to our priorities and know they make a meaningful impact.
