Stirling University
Stirling University, whose situation on a fine 18th century estate in the shadow of the Ochil Hills has often led to the campus being described as the most beautiful in Europe, is an infant compared to some of Scotland's most venerable seats of higher learning.
But since it first opened its doors in 1967 it has shown a maturity far beyond its years, establishing a fine record for academic excellence, topping UK tables for its research achievements, and carving out for itself a truly international reputation.
Among its 9,000 students more than 80 countries are represented. The university's departments amply reflect the fact that as well as its important dimension on the UK scene, the institution is playing a true international role.
