NCUK Pathways

NCUK is a global network, made up of over 45 leading universities dedicated to providing international students guaranteed access to undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The consortium expands across five continents with study centres in multiple countries.    

An NCUK preparatory (foundation) pathway is designed for international students who are looking to fast-track their level 3 studies (A-levels or I.B). You will gain quality-assured, globally recognised qualifications in as little as 7 months in your chosen modules with innovative assessment methods and a guaranteed progression place on an undergraduate course at a top UK university.  

We are pleased to offer two NCUK Foundation Year pathways to prepare international students for first year entry to undergraduate degree courses. By studying in small classes in a higher education environment with us, you will gain the confidence to succeed at your chosen university.
