What is Stirling Essentials?
Stirling Essentials is a “one stop shop” for all new students arriving at Stirling to help you feel knowledgeable, supported and confident as you embark on your studies. It helps you:
- settle into your studies
- understand what is expected of you at university
- explore the key skills you need to be successful at university
- and what resources and support are available to you to make the most of your studies.
How does it work?
This module is entirely online and allows you to browse the sort of information you need, to help you settle in and be successful during your degree. It has been developed based on feedback from our students and wider research on students transitioning into higher education.
We recommend you read through the module before you start and come back to the module when you need clarification on how things work or to find further support and resources during your degree. There is a link to it on all Canvas modules which will remain available throughout your degree.
