On behalf of everyone here at the University and over 110,000 former students around the globe, we would like to welcome the class of 2024 to our alumni community!
When you graduate from the University, you automatically become a life-long member of our alumni community. In this blog you will learn how to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities we offer to all our graduates.
Lifelong careers support
We keep supporting you long after you’ve completed your studies and taken your first steps into the world of work. That’s why we give you lifelong access to our Careers Service. From refining your CV, to interview practice and much more, our Careers Consultants are here for you no matter what stage of your professional journey you’re at. Here are some useful links to get you started:
- The Careers Service offers alumni lifelong access to its services. If you are looking for work, considering postgraduate study, would like a CV-check or some tips for interview success, get in touch to make an appointment and speak with one of our consultants.
- Our online vacancy system displays a wide range of graduate jobs across the UK, as well as paid graduate internships, local paid part-time work and volunteering opportunities.
- We have a wealth of resources on our graduate pages, including webinars, application advice, and guidance if you are considering further study.
- For our international graduates, there’s an online course from the British Council called ‘Preparing for Work’, to help you make your career choices
- Also, you will be contacted in 15 months to find out what you are doing at that point and asked to take part in the national Graduate Outcomes Survey which will show where Stirling graduates are and what they are doing. Graduate Outcomes is the biggest UK annual social survey and captures the perspectives and current status of recent graduates. This builds a picture of employability for Universities across the UK and your participation is hugely appreciated.
Retain access to your student email
You have access to your portal for 30 days following graduation to opt-in to continue to access your student email account for two years after graduation.
Keep in Touch!
Don’t forget to update your contact details through our online Keep in Touch form to receive the latest alumni and University news, event invitations, and exclusive updates from our e-newsletters and Stirling Minds magazine.
You can also stay connected with our alumni community on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. Connect with old and new friends through our network of alumni ambassadors, and if you lose contact with your Stirling friends, we can even help you get in touch with them! Simply email alumni@stir.ac.uk and we will do our best to reconnect you!
Get involved in our alumni community
Help us continue to support student scholarship and hardship funds by helping to spread the word on the importance of philanthropic funding, or through making a donation yourself at some point in the future.
Alumni events
The Alumni Relations Team helps to organise gatherings and reunion events all over the world and we can’t wait to see you at these in future! We also encourage and support the organisation of freestanding events and reunions by independent groups of alumni. If you’d like us to help you organise an event, please email alumni@stir.ac.uk.
Congratulations again on your achievements! We hope you have had a fabulous student experience at Stirling with many happy memories and we hope to see you back on campus soon at one of our alumni events.
