How to apply?

We are holding a virtual International Opportunities Fair on Wednesday 7th October from 1pm - 5pm. Students can hear from the study abroad team about how and where they can apply to study abroad during their third year. There will also be an opportunity to hear about work placement opportunities, and to hear from Stirling students who have already studied abroad. The application form for 2021/22 exchanges will be made available after the fair. More information about how to attend the fair sessions will be provided soon. We look forward to seeing you there!
