Foundation Program in the UK

“Your roadmap to year 1 of an undergraduate degree at UK’s top universities”.
 
The Foundation Program: Structure and Length
For international students finishing their high school exams and wanting to study at a UK university, but who do not qualify for direct entry, a foundation program can most often be the best route to university.
Our pathway providers offer numerous degree programs at the undergraduate level in the UK. Some of these pathways offer guaranteed degree progression.
 
Your degree preparation
A foundation course is a 9 month or 3 term preparation course that involves English language proficiency enhancement and academic subject preparation, aimed at helping you bridge the gap between your current proficiency and that required by the university admission guidelines. This helps you achieve entry to an undergraduate degree in many of the leading universities in the UK.
Length of course: 3 terms (9 months)
Start Dates- October, January & March Tuition Fees
Range- £15,000- £20,000
 
Entry Requirements:
To be accepted for an International Foundation Year, you need to meet certain entry requirements.

What can I expect from the UK education system?
 
A typical UK degree includes a range of teaching method:
Lectures are large classes for learning concepts and theories and their application to real life.
Seminars and Tutorials are small classes with presentations, discussions, and informal debates.
Practical Workshops where you develop your real-world skills.
Sandwich Degree Courses that offer a year of industry placement in full-time employment.
 
You need to manage your own time to conduct research outside of the classroom, prepare assignments, and study for exams. These will assess your analytical understanding of a subject, rather than your ability to just memorize concepts.
 
Note: Your pathway course provider will help you build your independent learning skills, teach you how to reference sources, and structure your academic essays.

  1. A focused pathway that is designed to offer the best chance of entry to university
