Prepare for direct entry to Year 2 of an undergraduate degree in a wide range of subjects, including Accounting, Business, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing at the University of Stirling.

With this pathway, you'll also have the opportunity to progress to one of our affiliate partner universities in Scotland. If you choose this option, you may progress to Year 1 or Year 2 of your degree, depending on the university you choose.

Course features:

• A specialist programme helping you to develop the knowledge and skills for your chosen degree.
• Study academic modules that reflect the first year of your chosen degree.
• Guaranteed university placement for all successful students.
• Our class sizes are smaller than you’ll typically experience at university – so you'll have more time with your teachers.

• Guidance with your university application, ensuring you choose the best degree for you.

How will I be assessed?

You will be assessed in each module both formally and informally. Assessment is designed to help you build on your success and meet the requirements for entry to your degree. Marks from the International Foundation programme do not count towards the final degree, but they help the University assess your abilities in your chosen field of study. You will be assessed by a combination of examinations and coursework.
