Standard Level Foundation Diploma (8 months)

This course includes the Pre-Sessional English component that will unlock access to the High Level modules. It is complemented with a basic IELTS preparation package. You will need to test IELTS 4.0 or equivalent to join this course.

High Level Foundation Diploma (6 months)

You can start directly in this course if your English level is equal to an IELTS 5.0 or equivalent.

Most international students who are looking to gain access to a UK university need to complete an IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma or prepare and take the A-Levels.

If you don't have the IB or A-Levels, then you would normally need to complete an International Foundation Year programme in the UK, which obviously adds an extra expense and time to your student journey.

The International Foundation Diploma was designed to create a cost-effective route into UK universities, allowing you to prepare from your home country and giving you great admissions support into our partner universities.
