International Stage Two
The International Stage Two (IS2) provides an intensive combination of first–year university subject modules with extra study and English language skills. The IS2 is the equivalent to your first year of study at undergraduate level. Upon successful completion, you will continue to the second year of your chosen degree at the university of your choice.
Why study the International Stage Two?
The International Stage Two is the perfect pathway if you want an undergraduate degree from a Scottish university but do not meet the requirements for direct entry.
