14 WWW.STIR.AC.UK/UNDERGRAD/COURSE_INFO unDERGRADUATE GUIDE Undergraduate guide Thinking of coming to Stirling to study at undergraduate level? Over the next four pages is the basic information you need. When you’re ready for detailed advice, please contact us. WHAT CAN I study? Our main programmes are listed opposite. Choice and flexibility are key – we offer more ways of combining these subjects than most universities. For more about your particular area(s) of interest, visit: www.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/course_info How are degrees structured? Undergraduate degrees in Scotland – including at Stirling – typically last four years (eight semesters). In your first year you have the opportunity to take up to three subjects. You maintain this breadth of study until the end of Semester 3, when you start to specialise in your chosen area. This gives you the chance to try new subjects, and even change the focus of your degree if you want to. You have maximum flexibility as there are no department or faculty restrictions. You can combine subjects from different areas, for example: Film & Media and Environmental Science; French and Psychology, Philosophy, Politics and Economics (BA). are there other entry options? If you achieve particularly high grades, you may be able to go directly into the second year of your programme. The table shows which programmes offer this option. While some students choose this route, others prefer to still experience the breadth of study and flexibility the first year offers. There are also some programmes that you can start in either September or February – again, please see the table. how much does it cost? Undergraduate tuition fee rates and payments differ, depending on where you live – here is a rough guide.

Fees are set by the Scottish Government and are the same at all institutions. The fee level for new students entering in 2010 is £1,820 per year. You can take out an additional student loan to cover tuition fees, then repay this (along with any other student loans), once you have graduated and are earning over £15,000 a year. International students (domiciled outside the EU) You will be required to pay tuition fees at the ‘overseas’ rate for each year of your programme. For students who are not eligible for support from UK public funds, tuition fees vary according to the degree programme being taken. For 2010/2011, the annual tuition fee is £9,900 – £11,950. What financial support is available? Financial support is available to some students in the form of student loans and additional maintenance grants.
