Southampton is ranked as one of the World’s top 100 Universities by the QS World Ranking, 2020. We are a founding member of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities, which means your education is informed by research as it unfolds. Choosing your university is about more than finding a course. It’s about starting the next chapter of your life and taking another step towards becoming the person you want to be. At Southampton we share your passion to learn and encourage your desire to explore and evolve in a friendly and vibrant community. Our academics and diverse student community will inspire, challenge and support you. Together we can help you make your mark on the world.
The International Foundation Year (IFY) is for talented students normally from outside the UK, who have had at least 11 or 12 years full time education, but who may not have English as a first language or the typical qualifications for direct entry. The IFY will help you to develop your English language skills as well as preparing you for academic study in a UK university. At the end of the IFY programme, you will automatically progress to your chosen degree, provided you achieve the required grades. IFY students are eligible for a four-year visa to study in the UK.
SCHOLARSHIPS The Southampton International Merit Scholarships award up to £3,000 to eligible students as an automatic reduction in course fees for the first year of the course. No separate application is required as the scholarship information will be included in your offer letter. To receive the discount you must meet the eligibility criteria, and have accepted your conditional or unconditional offer from the University of Southampton. https://www.southampton.ac.uk/ uni-life/fees-funding/international-feesfunding.page
