Experiential Learning Field Trips

Field trips will be an integral part of each course module. Options include visits to the Scottish Parliament, Ibrox & Celtic Parks, Killiecrankie and readings at the macRobert Arts Centre. These field tripsmay be opened to everyone, not just those enrolled in the module.

A key feature of the Stirling ISS is the out-of-class study which will be an integral part of each course module. The content will vary depending on the subject studied but options include visits to the Scottish Parliament, the largest on-shore wind farm, football stadiums such as Ibrox & Celtic Parks, the site of the Battle of Killiecrankie and readings at the MacRobert theatre, cinema and café bar on campus. These field trips are also open to those not signed up for the module (subject to space) and are included in the programme fee.

Social Activities

A range of social and cultural activities will enable you to get to know other students on the ISS. Excursions to major Scottish attractions such as Edinburgh, St Andrews and Glasgow are planned for this year’s International Summer School. A Scottish ceilidh will also be held so you can even learn Scottish country dancing during your time here!

There is ample free time built into the summer school to allow students to make use of the university's world-class sports facilities, explore the many historic sights in and around the city of Stirling, shop in the mall or wander the beautiful countryside with new friends.

 

National Health Service Emergency Healthcare

Should students be required to seek medical assistance during their studies, they have full access to the National Health Service (NHS) Medical Centre on campus to see a doctor or nurse and to NHS emergency treatment. These services are completely free other than the cost of a prescription (£4.00), if applicable.

 

Sports Centre Membership

During your time at Stirling you will be entitled to use the world-class fitness and conditioning centre, 50-metre swimming pool and attend fitness classes free of charge. You are also able to use the University facilities to play tennis, squash, badminton and various other indoor and outdoor sports for a reduced fee.
