Foundation Courses

What are International Foundation Programmes?

International Foundation Programmes prepare you for first-year admission into undergraduate degrees at top universities. In under 12 months, you gain academic study, study skills, intensive English training, and cultural exposure.

Often called “year zero” programs, they are built into degree pathways and give you the foundation to succeed in your chosen field.

Is this Programme Right for You?

A foundation year is an excellent choice if you are an international student aiming to study abroad. It gives you the skills and preparation to perform well in your undergraduate degree.

You get extra time to adapt to a new learning environment, which helps you focus better and achieve stronger results. Considering the financial commitment of studying overseas, a foundation year ensures you are fully prepared to make the most of your studies.

What are the IELTS Requirements?

To enroll, you need to meet the IELTS requirements for your chosen Foundation Programme. Most universities require a minimum score between 4.5 and 5.0.

Requirements may differ depending on the institution, so check carefully with your chosen university. Preparing in advance is essential, since your IELTS score plays a key role in your admission.
