Extended Progression Support

This option is ideal if you wish to repeat your programme and progress to your original university of choice. This would mean you would start your International Foundation Year again from the beginning.

The Head of Centre at your International Study Centre will need to approve the repeat of your course, as visa compliance rules and visa time limits will need to be considered.

If you cannot, or do not wish to repeat the course at the same International Study Centre, we may be able to offer a suitable alternative (with the same or similar progression options) at one of our other International Study Centres or Colleges. These courses would have similar entry requirements to your previous course and would be subject to visa compliance rules and visa time limits.

If you have just missed out on achieving progression requirements for your chosen degree, we are able to offer you access to our Study Group Digital Learning programmes. These fully digital programmes are available online from wherever you are in the world and offer multiarticulation opportunities so you can choose the right university for you. The following digital programmes are available:

Online Pre-Masters Programme: Business Management

The Online Pre-Masters Programme gives you the opportunity to complete a two-semester programme from anywhere in the world. By choosing our fully digital programme, you can benefit from guaranteed conditional offers* from Lancaster University, Aberystwyth University and Bangor University, as well as the opportunity to explore many other progression options at a range of universities.

*Subject to successfully completing the programme and meeting progression requirements.

Online Accelerated Pre-Masters Programme: Business Management

Designed for students with a higher level of English ability, this one-semester programme can be studied from home to save time and money. By choosing our fully digital programme, you will have the opportunity to explore many progression options at a range of universities with the help of our dedicated University Ready team.

International Foundation Programme

Our International Foundation Programme offers a flexible and digital approach to learning, designed to help you gain the skills needed to progress to a recognising university. Our University Ready Programme, which runs throughout your programme, supports you in writing your personal statement and offers expert counselling about which university and degree is right for you. You can also attend our university fair and participate in activities that will help you develop skills that will impress universities and future employers.

International Year One

If you are an International Foundation Year student that has just missed out on achieving the progression requirements for your chosen undergraduate degree, you may be able to join an International Year One programme.

This course gives you the opportunity to study the first year of your undergraduate degree, while continuing to receive the support and study opportunities of the International Study Centre.  On completion of this programme, you will progress to the second year of an undergraduate degree at the partner university.

Approval to this course is subject to meeting entry requirements and visa time limits.

International Year Two

If you have a higher academic background and English language level than you may be able to accelerate your learning by studying the International Year Two programme. This programme is available at two of our International Study Centres in Scotland: the University of Aberdeen International Study Centre and the University of Strathclyde International Study Centre. Successful completion of this programme provides you with entry to the third year of a four-year degree at one of these two universities.

You may decide to apply for university entry.  If this is the case, the Extended Progression Support team can provide information on a wide range of university options available, whilst offering guidance on how to apply. Please note that your options will depend on your grades.
