International Foundation Years In London

Guaranteed Entry To Universities in London For International Students

Most high school qualifications from outside the EU¹ are not accepted by UK universities, due to differences in study length and curriculum. However, international students can qualify for entry by studying an International Foundation Year first. Courses start throughout the year and take 6 - 9 months to complete. On successful completion, most foundation years guarantee progression to selected degrees starting the following September.
