Study Abroad is a great opportunity for students to experience
lviing and studying in another country without taking you too far
out of your comfort zone. At GSA students on our academic year or
Fall/Spring semester programmes study alongside our regular
students. Students coming onto our International Summer School will
be in studios with other international students.
Study Abroad students will normally be pursuing a degree course
at their home institution. Students may choose to come to Glasgow
for
- Term 1
- Terms 2 & 3
- Full-Year
- Summer
in the Schools of Fine Art and Design, or
in the Mackintosh School of Architecture.
Our programme normally consists of four days a week intensive
studio practice and one day in the Forum for Critical Inquiry,
although it may vary by department.

When you make your Study Abroad application to the GSA you will
need to specify to which specialist department you are applying as
we do not operate a "class/credit" system. You should talk to your
Study Abroad advisor about this as they may be able to advise you
on the most appropriate choice. Once you have completed your
application form and put together your portfolio, this should be
mailed to the International Office at the GSA - your school may do
this for you. As demand for places is usually higher than the
number of places available you will need to send your application
in good time, and usually no later than our deadlines:
- 1st April for September entry
- 1st April for International Summer School
- 15th October for January entry Please note this
deadline may NOT be used for EXCHANGE students
Information on tuition fees and costs can be found here. Tuition fees for Study
Abroad students are a proportion of the regular International
tuition fee.
US students who are eligible for Financial Aid at their home
institution, should continue to be eligible for Financial Aid
whilst undertaking a Study Abroad programme. All Financial Aid for
Study Abroad students is administered through the Home institution
(not GSA).
In addition to your tuition fees you will incur other costs whilst studying at the
GSA.
Once you have completed your studies at the GSA a transcript
showing your grades and the work you undertook will be sent to your
home institution. Transcripts are sent out in July and late
February each year.
The application form can be downloaded for completion - click here for
more details. If you are still unclear about any part of the
application process speak to your Study Abroad advisor at home
first - they may well have the answer. Otherwise you can email us
at international@gsa.ac.uk
