The University of Stirling has retained its five-star rating in the respected QS Stars Rating System, following an independent audit of its performance.
A five-star institution is typically world-class in a broad range of areas, enjoys a global reputation and has cutting-edge facilities and internationally-renowned research and teaching staff.
In addition to the overall institutional score, the University retained its five stars for teaching, employability, internationalisation, facilities and inclusiveness – and added two further five-star ratings in research and in specialist criteria.
