Program Overview

BSc (Hons) Computing Science and Mathematics with International Foundation

University of Stirling

Combining your preparation studies with your undergraduate degree in a single four-year study plan. An iCAS (integrated Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)) means that you'll study on one visa for the entire programme – you don’t have to pay for flights home to renew your visa after Year 1 and can stay in the UK to work over the summer.

A range of alternative English language qualifications to IELTS are accepted for entry. If you do not meet the minimum English language requirements, you should apply for an International Foundation in Business, Finance, Economics and Marketing, Media, Humanities and Social Sciences or Science, Sport, Computing and Engineering, which also offer progression to undergraduate degrees.

Key Information

• A single study plan, meaning students can apply for one visa for the full duration of the programme.
• After successful completion of Year 1 of their study plan, students continue to Year 2 of their undergraduate degree.
• Many degrees are accredited by professional bodies, and have strong links with industry and local organizations providing opportunities for hands-on learning through placements.
