THE LOCATION 
Stirling is Scotland's newest city and is a 10-minute bus ride from campus. With a population of around 41,000, the city offers an interesting blend of the old (Stirling castle and the Wallace Monument) and the modern (cafes, restaurants, and department stores) and affords a warm community welcome. It is also within easy reach of both Glasgow (50 min. by train) and Edinburgh (25 min. by train) and the Scottish Highlands. 

With a student population of 9,000, the University of Stirling is known for programs in Film & Media Studies, English, History, Politics, Religion, Environmental Science, Management, and Sports. Built in the rolling hills of the former Airthrey estate- with Airthrey Castle still in place as a teaching building- the Stirling campus boasts a friendly atmosphere and a strong community spirit. In 2009-2010, students selected the University of Stirling as the Scottish University of the Year. Find details at http://www.stir.ac.uk/.
