Foundation Programmes

A Foundation Year is an additional year at the beginning of a university degree designed to prepare students who are not yet ready to embark on full degree-level studies. It equips them with essential academic skills and improves their English language proficiency, while also helping them adapt to life in the UK. Throughout this important transitional period, students receive advice and guidance from academic staff, tutors, and support professionals with expertise in assisting international students. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, students are guaranteed a direct pathway to their chosen degree programme at the same university for the following academic year.
