About the International Year One

The International Year One (IY1) is a one-year (3-term) programme which offers successful students a pathway to Year 2 of university.
Students will typically study 3 — 4 subjects, depending on the pathway chosen or the intended progression degree, as well as English Language. An understanding of English for academic purposes is crucial to complete assignments and bridge any academic gaps, aiding students to succeed at university.
As successful students can progress onto Year 2 of a related degree, the IELTS entry levels are higher than for an Undergraduate Foundation Programme.

Benefits of the IY1

A focused pathway, equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree in the UK, that is designed to offer the best chance of entry to university.

3.

The opportunity to study on a university campus, so you feel part of the university from the moment you arrive.

4.

The support of a personal tutor and subject tutors to ensure you stay on track with your study.
