The International Study CentreApply now

The University of Stirling International Study Centre (ISC) delivers the Undergraduate Certificate – a specialist foundation course for international students which replaces the first year of Stirling's four-year Honours degree and so leads directly to the second year of an undergraduate programme – and a Pre-Masters course.

Students being taught in the International Study Centre

At the heart of the University campus

The ISC is based in a modern, purpose-built facility on the University campus. You will be part of the University from the day you start your course.

Direct progression to the second year of your degree

Joining the International Study Centre guarantees that you will receive a conditional offer of a degree place at the University. On successful completion of the course and having met the required entry standards, you will proceed directly to your preferred degree programme.

Access to University facilities

As well as benefiting from specific resources for use by ISC students, you will have access to a range of University facilities including IT services, the University library and the Students' Association.

Personal monitoring and support

Your teachers are specialists in university preparation. Your progress will be monitored at all times to make sure you remain on track to successfully complete the programme. You will also benefit from regular assessment through examination and marked coursework.

Links with University lecturers

Your Link Tutor, who is also a lecturer at Stirling, will help you to understand your degree choices and answer your questions about studying on a University programme. The Link Tutor system broadens your knowledge of what Stirling offers and allows you to engage with University faculty.
