Mini Prospectus - University of Stirling

What are the entry requirements?
Please ask about academic requirements, as they vary from
one programme to another. For all programmes you need a
standard level qualification in English, and in mathematics
for certain programmes.
If you’re coming from outside the UK, we accept a range of
qualifications – please see the table below for examples.
What if English isn’t my native language?
You’ll need to demonstrate a level of proficiency. Typically
we accept an IELTS score of 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in
Writing and Listening. We also accept a TOEFL score of
80 IBT (or 550 PBT; 213 CBT).
INTERNATIONAL STUDY CENTRE
For international students who need to improve their English
or who have to undertake additional academic preparation
we offer an Undergraduate Certificate programme. This oneyear
foundation runs parallel to your first year of degree
study. It combines English language preparation, academic
modules and study skills. Once you’ve completed it, you go
straight into the second year of your degree. This certificate
is run by our International Study Centre – see page 21.
