Undergraduate pathway programmes
Secure your place at the University of Stirling with our undergraduate pathway programmes.
Most Scottish undergraduate degrees last 4 years, but our pathway programmes allow you to graduate in 3–4 years, depending on your qualifications.
Combine your degree and pathway programme
Complete your pathway programme and degree in a single study plan, on one visa. We offer a wide range of iCAS – Integrated Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) – programmes, making studying abroad simple.
Don’t qualify for an iCAS programme? Apply for a standalone International Foundation or International Year Two, which offer the same guaranteed route to the University of Stirling for students with a lower level of English.
Why choose an iCAS programme?
Combine your degree with an International Foundation or International Year Two pathway programme.
One visa for the full length of your study plan.
Continue directly to your degree after your pathway, with no requirement to return home between programmes.
Apply with a range of English language qualifications, not just IELTS.
Choose from a huge range of degrees, including AI and data science, business, engineering, film and media studies, law, life sciences and sports-related subjects.
Work up to 20 hours per week in the UK while you study.
