Young Learner Summer Programme Stirling
Our Young Learner Summer Programme for 11-17 year-olds, which is based at the campus of Stirling University, combines first-rate English language tuition with full-board accommodation and a wealth of holiday activities, including regular sightseeing trips.
The campus provides a scenic and secure environment for students and offers a wide range of facilities on their doorstep. We welcome bookings from both groups and individuals, with individual students in 2011 making up 32% of the total numbers. We also maintain a good blend of nationalities, with the mix in 2011 including students from Spain, Italy, China, Switzerland, Russia and Portugal.
