This programme is designed to prepare international students who have completed senior secondary education for undergraduate study at the University of Hull. All students who successfully complete the UFP are guaranteed placement on a suitable programme of undergraduate study at the University of Hull. The UFP is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the UK. 

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of approximately 10 weeks. On average, you will undertake 21 (and up to 25 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.

Please note: minimum and maximum hours are estimated, hours may vary depending on the student's academic and English level and may be adjusted throughout their course.

You will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure you are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final term. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the University environment, and include project work, essays, presentations and unseen examination.
