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 in the UK, but do not have the
academic or English qualifications required for direct entry to a British university.
It is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree, but with
more flexible admission requirements for international students. 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 more flexible 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.
- An alternative route to university for students who are studying the A level or International Baccalaureate curriculum.
- 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
University Foundation Course
instead.
