Students who have completed high school or pre-undergraduate education (A-Level) in the UK can apply for university through the UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) system – students can apply up to 5 universities. Students applying through the UCAS system have to submit a Personal Statement of 750 words (max). Universities may offer unconditional or conditional acceptance.
Many universities list the Foundation Program as a pre-requisite for international students’ Bachelor’s degree application. Thus, the Foundation program is rather a transition program directed towards undergraduate education. Although students with a very high GPA and a very good level of English can be exempted from the Foundation program, most universities prefer to accept students through/after Foundation programs.
The Foundation program lasts for one year, and the courses to be taken depend on the area the student indents to study at university. For example, students who want to study Engineering or Architecture receive more math-related courses during the Foundation program, while students who want to study Law or Business take courses in Social Sciences. Those who successfully complete the Foundation program are placed in the Bachelor’s degree program that offered them conditional acceptance.
While many universities in the UK offer Foundation programs, programs run by private institutions are also recognized by many universities. Some special Foundation programs are even directly linked to some universities. Students who have successfully completed the Foundation program at such an institution can directly transfer to an allied university.
Students who want to participate in Foundation programs must have an IELTS score around 5.5.
