International Foundation Year

The International foundation year will enable you to improve your English language, study skills and academic content knowledge in English to the level necessary to take an undergraduate degree. You will study a combination of language-focused classes alongside subject-based courses relating to the BA/BSc course you intend to study. As well as improving your language skills, you will develop key academic study skills for research, assignment writing and oral presentation. We also provide individual help with your studies through regular tutorials.

Once you have successfully completed the International foundation year, you’ll progress onto a place on the first year of your chosen undergraduate degree course at CCCU.
