International Year One
Guaranteed Entry To Year 2 Of A Bachelor's Degree
The International Year One is for international students who want to study an undergraduate degree, but do not quite have the
academic or English qualifications for direct entry. It is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree, but with lower
entry requirements. On successful completion, most courses guarantee progression to the second year of a bachelor's degree
(year 3 in Scotland1).
Why Choose This Course
- Equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree, but with lower academic and English entry requirements.
- Guaranteed progression on successful completion for most International Year One programmes.
- Perfect for students who passed a university foundation course, but did not get the grades required for automatic progression.
- Ideal for AS Level students who want to progress to university without taking A2 Levels.
- Value for money - complete your undergraduate degree in only three years!
Entry Requirements
If you do not meet these entry requirements, you should consider a

instead.
