We have been working on a couple of projects in recent weeks to support school pupils who are interested in studying with us and also those who are interested in finding out more about the university and university life:
Academic Webinar Series
Academic Taster sessions, led by University of Stirling lecturers, will give students an insight into what a first year lecture is like, providing an excellent bridge between Higher/Advanced Higher and University content. These sessions are also a great way for attendees to get an in-depth understanding into the popular subject areas, helping them to get more information for their university degree options.
