International Foundation Programmes
If you want to study one of our undergraduate degrees, but don’t meet the academic and language entry requirements – our International Foundation Programme (IFP) is for you.
Both our law and business foundation programmes run from September to June each year, split into six modules across two terms. They include two English language modules to help you build your general language skills into applied academic language. The programme also includes practical numeracy skills and research project modules that you can apply specifically to your subject area.
Our English academic coachs will work closely with you during the programme to make sure you are prepared for the linguistic demands of your degree. You will have 18 contact hours with your academic coach each week to ensure you have plenty of guidance and individual feedback on your work.
International Foundation Programme in Law
If you’re on the law foundation programme, you will take part in two law modules to ensure you have a solid understanding of a range of concepts by the time you start your law degree, giving you a head start. This includes learning about the role of law in society, improving legal research and referencing skills, visiting a range of courts and studying civil and criminal cases.

This includes learning about company structures, globalisation, management theory, global financial markets and marketing principles.
