Opening doors to global futures
Behind every progression statistic is a student’s story of ambition, preparation, and transformation—discover how we make global futures possible.
Every student begins their international education journey with a dream – whether it’s to study at a world-class university, launch a business or simply experience life in a new country. But turning that dream into reality takes more than ambition, it takes preparation, guidance and the right choices at the right time. And that’s where we come in.
This year our students achieved incredible outcomes:
- 89% of students completing our programmes were eligible to progress to their desired university course.
- 91% of International Year One (IY1) students completing our programme were eligible to progress to year 2 at their chosen university.
- 94% of Pre-Masters students completing our programme successfully received an offer of a place on postgraduate studies.
- 87% of International Foundation Year students completing our programme were eligible to progress to their chosen university course.
- 89% of students completing our programme received offers to progress to Russell Group universities.
- 96% of Pre-Masters students completing our programme received offers to progress to Russell Group partners.
As we reflect on this year’s outstanding progression results one thing is clear – success in international education is not accidental. It’s the result of support, guidance, expert teaching and confidence building. These numbers tell a powerful story - but they don’t tell the whole story. Because success in international education isn’t about getting into university – it’s what comes next.
Success is a journey, not a moment
Too often, success is defined as securing a university place or walking across the stage at graduation. But international education is about far more than that. It’s about the learning, challenge and experience that shapes students from young people into globally confident graduates.
Our students don’t just cope at university, they engage, contribute and thrive. That transformation doesn’t happen by chance, it’s a direct result of the preparation and support they receive from our dedicated teams at our International Study Centres. From the beginning we support students to make informed choices about where and what to study. We work closely with agents and university partners to ensure every student has a clear, achievable path to their goals. And that’s all about finding the right course, at the right university, for the right future.
Preparation is an investment. Our programmes bridge the gap between where students are and where they want to be. Through expert academic and English language support, we give students the tools to succeed: critical thinking, cultural confidence and the ability to adapt and thrive in a new environment.
Pathways are a strategic choice, not a second option
There’s a misconception that pathway programmes are a fallback for students who couldn’t meet direct entry requirements. Nothing could be further from the truth. Why? Because international education is about more than academic entry. It’s about adapting to a new culture, language confidence, academic study skills and developing the resilience and confidence needed to thrive. A pathway programme gives students the time, guidance and support to make that transition effectively. It’s not lowering the bar, it’s raising the chances of success.
When students choose a pathway, they’re choosing preparation that pays off. They’re choosing to start strong, progress confidently and graduate as global citizens. Employers today aren’t just looking for a degree certificate. They want graduates with resilience, confidence, communication skills and cultural awareness. These qualities don’t appear overnight, they are built through experience, guidance and preparation.
That’s why our progression rates matter. With 9 out of 10 of our students progressing to university, they are proof that our approach works. Behind every percentage point is a student who is not only ready for university but ready for life beyond it.
As we celebrate these achievements, we also look forward. Together, with our university partners, agents and dedicated teams, we will continue to connect and educate, giving students the very best chance of lifelong success. Because in the end, international education is not just about degrees. It’s about futures.
