Foundation programmes
If your qualifications are not suitable for your chosen course, we offer two foundation programmes which enable progression onto a wide range of our undergraduate degrees:
- International Foundation Programme (IFP): for students whose school-leaving qualifications are insufficient for direct entry to undergraduate study and/or whose English language standard is below the necessary level.
- 4-year integrated programmes which include a foundation year: for students with acceptable English language ability but with school-leaving qualifications below the level required for direct entry to an undergraduate degree.
If you are unsure, please contact us to check if your qualification is acceptable.
Important dates
Students from the EU are advised to apply by 15 January.
