SUMMER PROGRAM – UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING

 

The summer academic program is an accelerated program for full-time, part-time, and visiting students, delivered during the summer months of July and August. Summer program units have the same content, contact hours and assessment arrangements as in a normal 15-week semester but by means of a more intensive timetable are delivered over a shorter period.  The program is designed to incorporate a range of social and cultural activities and will give you the opportunity to travel and experience more of Scotland.

 

Seventeen courses from the areas of creative writing, history, international relations, philosophy & religion, environmental science, the cinema, and sports management are offered.  Each course in the summer program is equivalent to 3 semester hour credits in the US system.
