Progression to undergraduate degrees at the University of Stirling
On application to the International Study Centre, students must nominate the undergraduate degree programme that they wish to study on completion of the preparation programme. For Undergraduate Certificate students this will determine whether they study the Business & Social Studies or Sciences & Computing route. Diploma students follow a business related programme and can only choose from programmes within this field.
While we expect most students will be happy with their degree choice, there may be some flexibility to change to a different subject within the available options up to the end of semester 3.
