University Foundation Course
University Foundation
This English preparation course for British universities is a one-year programme to prepare you to succeed in a university course in the UK. The course is aimed at students who have completed their secondary education and typically need an additional year of study to be able to apply for an undergraduate degree in the UK.
The course starts in September, and combines Academic English and IELTS preparation in the morning with English for specific purpose study in the afternoon.
We take a personalised approach to students’ needs and our University Pathway Service ensures students are fully guided and supported when deciding on their university choices. Over 20 years of delivering our University Foundation Course means we have built up excellent relationships with a number of universities who have accepted our students onto their degree programmes. Check out our course information.
