Entry
Requirements - Foundation
(Pre-University Access Courses)
Course entry requirements to study in the
UK vary according to the course and institution. For many foundation
or access courses you need qualifications that prove you will
be able to study successfully. Many international qualifications
meet entrance requirements to various foundation courses. UniAdmission
will assist you in establishing the approximate UK equivalent
of your qualifications.
Foundation courses are commonly designed for
students wishing to progress to a course in the same discipline
at a higher level. Entry requirements depend on the subject
to be studied. Some require only basic literacy skills, without
a formal qualification in the subject to be studied. Mathematics
is commonly available in this way. Other subjects may have stricter
entry requirements.
In visual arts, especially fine art, a good
A level pass or equivalent in the same subject is required.
Foundation courses will often include English tuition, but are
not usually suitable for complete beginners. Many Universities
and colleges run University Foundation Programmes designed for
international students who are not yet ready to begin degree
study in the UK.
These programmes usually last a full academic
year and include English language classes alongside study of
the subject area the student wishes to study at degree level.
Entrance requirements vary, but qualifications at about A level
standard, and some ability in English are usually needed.
If the process seems overwhelming, remember:
there are usually just FOUR STEPS
to accomplish:

GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education), Equivalent
to TWA, JIHYA. Five passes at grades A-C, grades depending
on the course you wish to study. |
| 2 |
English Language |
Institutions will set their own English language requirements
for all courses. Usual requirements are: IELTS at grade
5, TOEFL (paper-based) 350. |
| 3 |

Approach two school referees and ask each one to write a
full reference on official letterhead of your school. |
