What the OnCampus Foundation Programme gives you?
Focused Pathway
Best chance of entry to a top university. You'll explore different study techniques required for successful degree progression.
No A-levels needed
The UFP is designed for students who don't have A-levels — or who have them but didn't get the grades they needed. O-levels, GCSEs, CBSE, WAEC — all accepted at the right grade.
Guaranteed Progression to Year 1
Pass the programme and your university place is guaranteed. You're not reapplying. You are not competing. Your place is already secured.
Inclusive Learning Environment
Join a global community and build lasting international friendships and networks.
Total Support
Get personalised academic support from expert tutors every step of the way.
Study on campus from day one
You are not studying online or at a separate school. You are on a UK or Europe university campus, using the same facilities as degree students.
Improved English Language
Improve your English language level with our 'Extended' programme.
Is the Foundation Programme right for you?
Three quick checks:
You have finished secondary school: O-levels, GCSEs, CBSE, WAEC, or equivalent. ✓
You want to study at a UK or Europe university but do not have A-levels, or did not get the grades you needed. ✓
You are happy to spend a year on a foundation programme before starting your degree. ✓
If all three apply, the UFP is the right starting point.
Not sure?
If you already have A-levels or an equivalent senior secondary qualification, the International Year One(IY1) leads directly to Year 2 of your degree, saving a year.
If you hold a bachelor's degree, the Pre-Master's Programme is the right route.
Progress to top universities worldwide
Studying with OnCampus gives you direct access to globally ranked institutions and leading universities across the UK and Europe.
Not sure where you want to go yet?
At OnCampus you have the choice of studying in some of Europe's best destinations.
