Since its foundation, it has expanded to four faculties, a Management School, a Graduate School, and a number of institutes and centres covering a broad range of subjects in the academic areas of arts and humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and health sciences and sport.

The university campus, with its wildlife, loch and greenery, and located in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, is often cited as among the most beautiful in the UK. Since 2002, the University of Stirling and the landscape of the Airthrey Estate has been designated by the International Council on Monuments and Sites as one of the UK's top 20 heritage sites of the 20th century.
