About This Course
The International Year One (Humanities & Social Sciences) is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree at Aston University, but with more flexible academic and English requirements. It is specially designed for international students who want to study a degree at the university, but do not quite meet the requirements for direct entry.
During the programme, you will study a first year university curriculum, but with additional support to improve your study skills and English language abilities.
