About the Program
GSA is the college of choice for leading-edge art study in Scotland's most cosmopolitan city. Recognized for its international role in educating artists, designers and architects, GSA is one of the few free-standing art schools remaining in Europe. With a history of distinguished alumni, including Robbie Coltrane, Alison Watt, and Douglas Gordon, GSA can help you find your inspiration, as well.


About Glasgow
Glasgow offers an energetic and hip atmosphere. A stellar arts scene as well as Scottish companies of ballet, opera, orchestra and chorus, theaters, galleries and museums are just some of the entertainment you will find in this intriguing metropolis. 

Program Benefits
  • Study cutting edge fine art, design and architecture in an inspiring city, at an institution recognized for its international role in educating artists, designers and architects
  • Spend 30 to 35 hours a week in a dedicated studio space working on independent projects
  • An active student association offers clubs and societies for social, cultural and athletic interests, including an innovative Drama Club and Film Society

Scholarships
IFSA scholarships are primarily need-based and factor in any additional cost your study abroad program might have over home school tuition. The awards are $500 for summer programs, $1,500 for semester programs and $2,500 for full year programs. These scholarships may apply to any IFSA program, with the exception of our custom programs.

Program Structure
Students will choose a particular pathway that they will study for the duration of the semester. The options are:
  • Fine Art Photography
  • Painting & Printmaking
  • Sculpture & Environmental Art


​GSA will place you into the appropriate year of study (usually Year 2) based upon your portfolio and application. You will not choose courses; rather, you will be placed into the same two courses as degree-seeking students at GSA. These are a studio course, which consists of four days a week intensive studio practice, and a one day a week Fine Art Critical Studies course. Both courses will transfer back to Vassar as Art courses.
 

 

Mental Health & Wellness Resources

To ensure a successful study abroad experience, it is important to research the mental health and wellness resources provided by the study abroad program to determine if they offer appropriate support for your particular needs.

IFSA requires students to enroll in Student Health Insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), which is designed to help if you need to see a doctor or therapist, or need to seek urgent medical care.  

This policy also covers some pre-existing conditions — including counseling — and offers worldwide emergency assistance from anywhere outside of the United States. Coverage is mandatory for every IFSA student, and IFSA does not waive it if you already have insurance. If you have questions about insurance coverage for your specific health needs, please contact CISI.

Students studying in the United Kingdom for six months or longer are also covered under the U.K.’s National Health Service.
