Course Overview

The International Stage Two (IS2) in Computer Science provides the ideal preparation for achieving a Scottish degree with the University of Dundee’s respected School of Science and Engineering. You will develop your technical knowledge and practical skills in key areas such as programming, software development, data analysis and computer systems, gaining a strong foundation for advanced study and future employment in the technology sector.

The IS2 is equivalent to second-year level study of a typical four-year Scottish undergraduate degree. This programme offers an intensive combination of computing subjects alongside English, professional and academic skills, as well as digital and data literacy. Upon successful completion, you will progress to the final two years of your chosen Computer Science degree at the University of Dundee.

Alongside your academic studies, you will take one or two credited experiential and reflective learning modules designed to help you settle into life in Dundee, build your confidence, and make the most of your international student experience. These modules are a distinctive feature of this degree pathway, supporting your transition into advanced study and helping you connect your learning to the University and the wider community.

For students who have already completed equivalent higher-level study, elements of this module series may be recognised through academic review at the point of admission. This ensures your pathway aligns with your prior learning while maintaining a strong foundation for success.
