Complete your degree in three years
The International Year Two is equivalent to the second year of a Scottish undergraduate honours degree and it provides a route to the third year of a four-year undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde*.
This programme has been created in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, and is designed to support international students who perform well-above the level needed for entry to the Undergraduate Foundation Programme.
During your time with us at the International Study Centre, you will develop your English language skills and study subject-specific modules, before completing the final two years* of your undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde. 92% of students who completed the International Year Two at the International Study Centre were offered progression to a degree course at the University of Strathclyde in 2024.
