История [ править ]

Стерлинг был первым новым университетом, основанным в Шотландии за почти 400 лет. [8] Первоначальный сайт кампуса был выбран из короткого списка конкурирующих сайтов, который включает Фолкерк, Перт и Инвернесс. Автор «Обзора Роббинса», который рекомендовал расширить число университетов в Великобритании в течение 1960-х годов, лорд Роббинс , был назначен первым ректором университета в 1968 году. В 1967 году был построен дом для директора университета Тома Коттрелла , спроектированный по проекту архитекторами Моррисом и Стидманом . Он был внесен в категорию А в 2009 году. [9]

Здание Pathfoot открылось в 1967 году.

Здание Pathfoot, которое представляло собой первую фазу развития кампуса, было завершено в 1968 году и первоначально в нем размещались лекционные залы, офисы и классы в дополнение к культовому «залу давки», где университет демонстрировал свою новую коллекцию современного шотландского искусства. Здание было расширено в 1979 году, чтобы включить в него Тропический аквариум, а в 1987 году снова включить вирусологическое отделение, связанное с университетским институтом аквакультуры. В 1993 году Pathfoot здания был выбран международной организацией по сохранению DOCOMOMO в качестве одного из шестидесяти ключевых шотландских памятников в послевоенной эпохи. Он также был признан одним из 100 лучших современных шотландских зданий Prospect.. В 1970 году началось строительство здания, которое впоследствии было названо Коттрелл-билдинг, в память о первом директоре университета Коттрелле. Он состоит из двух параллельных зданий с поперечными коридорами и перемежающимися садами во дворе. В здании сегодня находится большая часть администрации университета, лекционные залы, ведомственные кабинеты, аудитории и компьютерные лаборатории. Университетская библиотека, Атриум и Центр Мак-Роберта расположены в соседнем здании Эндрю Миллера, строительство которого было завершено в 1971 году. [10]

13 октября 1972 года, во время визита Ее Величества Королевы в новый кампус, она подверглась шумному приему со стороны студентов, о чем широко сообщалось в средствах массовой информации. Студенты протестовали против отсутствия социальных пространств в относительно недавно построенном университете. 24 участвовавшим студентам были предъявлены обвинения в сборе, но позже обвинения были сняты. [11] Королевских визитов не было до 2011 года, когда принц Эдуард официально открыл обновленную библиотеку. [12]

Отдел бизнес-исследований был создан в 1982 году. [13] В том же году открылся Институт аквакультуры, научно-исследовательский институт, специализирующийся на рыбоводстве и генетике. В 1983 году компания продала компании Wang Laboratories 300 акров земли. [14] Здание Р.Г. Бомонта (названное в честь второго секретаря университета), в котором находится факультет социальных наук, было завершено в 1998 году. Здание Айрис Мердок было открыто в 2002 году для размещения Центра развития служб деменции и здания Колина Белла. был завершен в 2003 году.

Ранее университет располагал кампусами в Инвернессе и Сторновее , специализирующимися на сестринском и акушерском деле. Участок Хайленда находился на окраине Инвернесса на территории больницы Рейгмор . Кампус Western Isles находился в Stornoway, а учебные помещения были частью больницы Western Isles . В 2016 году было объявлено, что Университет Стерлинга передаст выполнение своих программ в этих кампусах Университету Хайлендса и островов . [22]

Academic profile[edit]

Teaching[edit]

Most Scottish degree programmes are designed to include four years of study with the intention of providing a broad and flexible education. Stirling has offered four-year, modular degree programmes since the university was first founded. In the 1960s and 1970s Credit Accumulation and Transfer Schemes, which create flexible pathways for students to acquire qualifications, were predominantly used in the US with the UK system operating on a disciplinary progression model. Initially, Stirling's modular approach, and its inherent flexibility, was seen as novel in the UK, but through time, more institutions moved to a semester basis and today almost all universities operate in this way.

Teaching at Stirling is delivered on a two-semester basis with the academic year beginning in mid-September and the first semester ending in mid-December. The second semester runs from the beginning of January to the end of May each year. At undergraduate level, three modules are taken in the first semester and three in the second. The basic module of study at Stirling is assigned 20 Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework[50] (SCQF) credit points. Ordinary degrees have a minimum credit total of 360 points.

The University offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses covering the liberal arts, natural science, management school and health science.[51] Stirling achieved a 5 Star Excellence Award for Teaching by QS Stars in 2016.[52]

Research[edit]

Stirling is an interdisciplinary research-intensive University with a range of research activity focused on Health and Wellbeing; Culture and Society; Environment; Enterprise and the Economy; and Sport. The Research Excellence Framework also rated almost three-quarters of research activity either world-leading or internationally excellent.

The University is home to some specialist research centres:[53]

  • Centre for Environment, Heritage and Policy
  • Stirling Media Research Institute (SMRI)
  • Stirling Centre for Scottish Studies.
  • Dementia Services Development Centre

  • Stirling Centre for Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies
  • Centre for Policy, Conflict and Co-Operation

Stirling has a research publications database, STORRE, which is a source of free, full-text access research outputs.[54]

Business links[edit]

The University has major industrial research links through Stirling University Innovation Park. This large science park was founded in 1993 and is located adjacent to the main university campus. It is home to around 50 companies engaging in various forms of research and development.[55] During the 1990s the University built a stand-alone Management Centre on the campus. This developed over time into a Conference Centre with residential accommodation. In 2015, the Management Centre was rebranded the Stirling Court Hotel.
