Learn
Learning is a way of life in Stirling. From the age of 3, there’s a nursery place for every child who wants one, and at the other end of the scale, One Foot in the Web sessions help older people keep up with technology.
Early learning is encouraged through play - in nurseries, playgrounds, parks, and on the converted Superbus. Our schools rank among the top 3 in Scotland for attainment. Pupil councils and student forums encourage children to voice their opinions and share ideas.
Student representatives sit on Stirling Council’s Children’s Committee to ensure young people’s views shape decision-making.
The Stirling Centre offers learning for work and modular learning that can lead to degree courses.
Stirling University is located on the edge of the city in a campus that is arguably the best in Europe. The enviable mix of location, environment, reputation and facilities are critical to its success in attracting academics and sponsors. 8,500 students from over 75 countries come to Stirling to learn.
Stirling was the first Scottish university to offer post-graduate taught courses in physical education and sport; the first British university to build a golf course; the first Scottish university to offer sports scholarships; the first British university to build an indoor tennis centre. Today, Stirling is the home of the new National Swimming Academy and the Scottish Institute of Sport.
Learning is for everyone - Learn something new, whatever your age.
