International Foundation Year (delivered by Study Group)

Each course combines study skills, English language training and subject-specific modules to prepare you for studies at degree level. You can choose from three routes depending on your chosen degree programme:

• Business, Management and Law
• Science, Engineering and Computing
• Social Sciences

You will be assessed regularly throughout the course to ensure you achieve the standard required for progression to your chosen degree.

There are assessments at the end of each module, which are a combination of examinations, coursework, presentations and extended essays. Continuous assessment is also a feature of the course with lectures, small group seminar work and self directed study.

Once you have successfully completed the programme, and achieved the required grades, you can start your chosen undergraduate degree at Kingston University.
