What is a foundation year?
A foundation year programme is for international students. It focuses on teaching you the English and subject-specific skills that you need to be successful in an undergraduate degree at a UK university.
As the education systems are different in other parts of the world, our foundation courses will ensure you are as prepared as possible to achieve your best in your degree.
Once you pass our International Foundation Year with the right grade, you can choose to progress onto almost any of our undergraduate courses.
