IH London’s University Foundation Programme prepares international students for entry to a British university. The University Foundation Programme helps you develop the academic and English language skills you need to study on an undergraduate degree course with native English speakers. Successful completion of any of IH London’s University Foundation Programme courses provides a fast and secure entry route to many excellent British universities.
IH London’s University Foundation Programme is for students who have finished secondary education in their own country. It replaces two years of A-Level study (or equivalent). Because our programme is focused and intensive, you can instead prepare for university in nine or even six months.
Our high quality teaching by university teachers and research staff helps to make sure you are thoroughly prepared for an undergraduate degree course. UFP students also receive support and guidance from university staff to help you choose the right degree course and complete the UCAS application forms.
Because IH London’s University Foundation Programme is independent of any particular university (except for Law), we can give students unbiased advice on their choice of degree course.
IH London offers three types of University Foundation Programme to prepare students for UK Bachelors Degree Courses in Engineering, Physics, Business Studies, Finance, Accounting or Law.
As well as preparing you for academic study in the subjects above, our modular UFP is integrated with an IELTS Preparation Programme to ensure you achieve an IELTS score of at least 6.5 (the entry standard required by most British universities).
I liked the flexible way of learning and made really fast progress as a result. I also met some great people at IH London who I'm still friends with.
