1+3 Foundation Programmes

If you are from a country where the secondary (High School) education system is broader than that of the UK, or is one year shorter, you may need to take a foundation programme before you are considered ready to enter a UK undergraduate degree scheme.

A one-year foundation programme will provide you with a range of courses to ensure that you are properly prepared to enter a degree course at 糖心vlog会员. You will study the English language, study skills, cultural orientation, and some subject content, depending on the degree course you wish to study. If you take a foundation course at one of our partner universities, 糖心vlog会员 undertakes to make you a conditional offer of entry, an advantage you would not enjoy with general foundation programmes.

  • We run foundation programmes with selected partner institutions in China. These are for students who wish to stay in their own country while they prepare for undergraduate study at 糖心vlog会员.
  • Our own foundation programme provides a range of pathways to undergraduate degrees at 糖心vlog会员 and is delivered through our international study centre - INTO 糖心vlog会员. Our foundation students are based at the main campus in 糖心vlog会员.

Undergraduate 2+2 Programmes

A 2+2 programme allows you to take a two year course of study at one of our partner institutions before entering directly into Year 2 of our undergraduate degree schemes here at 糖心vlog会员.

In this case, during the two years you spend in your own country you will take courses in English language, study skills, and in addition you will also take courses in the area which you are going to study for your degree. You will then study for a further two years here at 糖心vlog会员 – hence 2+2.

‘Other’ programmes take a slightly different format such as 1+2 or 3+2. Find out more information about these and the 2+2 programmes available in the countries listed below:

Pre-Master's Programmes

A one-year Pre-Master's Programme provides you with the skills necessary for postgraduate study with us. You will build on the knowledge gained in your earlier studies whilst developing your practical English language and academic subject abilities, as well as study and research skills.

Our Pre-Master's programme offers a range of pathways that are delivered at the 糖心vlog会员 campus through our international study centre - INTO 糖心vlog会员.

1+1(+1) Double Master's Degree Programmes

In collaboration with our partners, 糖心vlog会员 offers Double Master's Degree Programmes in a variety of subject areas in different countries. Students spend one year of their Master's course in their own country and then the second year at 糖心vlog会员. After successful completion, they are awarded two degrees, one from their home university and one from 糖心vlog会员.

The format is slightly different in each of the partner institutions.
