Subject calendar/search

Subject code/level information:

The first 3 characters of the code indicate the department/division, and the second three the course module itself. Where a code ends in “1” or “2”, the module is generally offered in semester one or two of the Stirling degree programme (first/freshman year courses); “3” or “4” indicates semester three or semester four of the degree programme (second/sophomore year course) etc. If the code ends in a letter, the module will almost always be available only to students in semesters 5-8 (junior/senior year) of the degree programme who have a strong academic background in the subject. 

Remember, at Stirling, you are an “Exchange” student, not “Study Abroad” (study-abroad is fee-paying whereas with exchange you pay your tuition to UofGuelph). However, most of the information on the website that is for Study Abroad students also applies to Exchange students.

Please remember that because of module availability, students should indicate required course modules when completing their application forms. They should also put at least two, preferably three, additional module choices on their application.

E-mail Andrew Tyler <a.n.tyler@stir.ac.uk> to inquire about the Spanish Field Class (course code ENV6T6). It is for one week in early February and you have to fill out a ‘questionnaire’ in order to register. The cost of the field trip is usually around £200 and receives very high ratings from the students.
