About the International Year One
This programme is designed for international students who do not quite have the academic grades and/or English level to start the first year of an undergraduate degree in the UK, but have a stronger profile than a UFP student. This programme is set at level 4, and is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate business degree in the UK.
Find out more about the IY1 from our programme guide
The duration of the programme is one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to eight teaching weeks, one reading week, and an examination week. On average, you will undertake 23 (and up to 28) hours of classroom-based study per week.
English Language forms up to six hours of your timetable, is compulsory for students who are below the required level for progression, and will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects as well as being taught separately if you need additional support. Students who are at or above the required English level for progression are likely to follow a reduced timetable.
Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to the classroom-based hours.
You will be assessed by a variety of methods during your time with us. The intention is that you have a chance to experience the full range of assessment methods that you might experience at university when you start the second year of your chosen degree.
Assessments will normally include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination, and unseen written examinations.
Students benefit from guaranteed progression (subject to achieving progression criteria) to a wide range of degrees. In previous years, students have either progressed to year 2 undergraduate degrees or also received offers from the following universities:
- Aston University
- London South Bank University
- Coventry University
- University of Westminster
- Brunel, University of London
- Royal Holloway, University of London
