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.
