The University of Stirling is committed to admitting students on the basis of their merit and their potential to succeed.
All applications are considered individually to ensure a fair admission process. The University makes all offers in an equitable manner, though the grades required may vary according to the applicant and subject.
The University considers each applicant’s predicted and actual academic achievements. We take note of the subjects studied and the number of attempts that have been taken to achieve grades. We will also check for competence in any specific subject(s) required for particular courses.
The personal statement and the referee’s statement are taken into account when decisions are made. The University looks for evidence of motivation to study, along with an interest in, and knowledge of, the subject(s) applied for. It also looks for evidence of the applicant’s ability to cope with the challenges of a University education, their transferable skills and their potential contribution to University life as a whole.
