Degree preparation at the University of Stirling

The International Study Centre

The University of Stirling International Study Centre delivers the following courses for international students:

International Foundation Year – leading to the second year of a degree

International Diploma – leading to the third year of a degree

Pre-Masters Programme – leading to a postgraduate degree

 

The International Study Centre is based in a modern purpose-built facility at the heart of the university campus. ISC students have access to all university facilities including IT Services, the University library and the Students Association.

Students are taught in small classes by specialists in university preparation and are closely monitored and assessed to ensure they are on track for their chosen degree. In addition students benefit from Link Tutors, lecturers from the University who are there to answer questions about degree progression options and to broaden the ISC students’ knowledge of what Stirling has to offer.

Location on campus

The ISC is convenient for all academic and social facilities and just a 5 minute walk from the student residences. The University of Stirling is well known for its amazing views, but the ISC has possibly the best view on campus! The classrooms look out across the tranquil loch towards the impressive Dumyat Hill.

A note from the head of centre…

Academic excellence is the reason that students are attracted to Stirling. The University is a multi-cultural centre known for the quality of the student experience, its success in getting its graduates into employment and for the significant contribution made to research and scholarship by its academic departments.

 

The magnificent campus, originally a castle and its grounds, was recently voted one of the safest in Europe. The International Study Centre offers students small classes and lots of individual attention and support to ensure the best possible preparation for your Degree studies.

 

There is plenty to do on campus thanks to the excellent social and entertainment programme provided by Stirling’s award-winning Students’ Association and the impressive Arts Centre which offers theatre and cinema. Sports facilities are outstanding and include a golf course, 50 metre swimming pool, and an ultra-modern fitness centre. In fact, whatever you may want to do, you can do it here in Stirling.

 

I hope you choose Stirling and look forward to your joining our special pathway programmes at the Centre. You can expect a very warm welcome from the ISC team."
