UK University Preparation Courses 2015 – 2016 Prices, dates and key information A-level This course is for the most able students who are seeking places on competitive degree courses at the most elite universities in the UK or internationally.
Extended A-level The Extended A-level is designed for students with lower language levels who intend to follow a main A-level course. It develops language proficiency to the level required for the demands of A-level, while also developing academic study skills and providing academic subject enrichment in preparation for the main A-level syllabus.
Advanced Level Foundation This intensive one-year foundation course is for students who are seeking places at leading UK universities. It is based on the A-level syllabus and recognised by a wide variety of UK Higher Education institutions.
Extended Foundation This course includes an academic year which introduces academic subjects and language development prior to studying Advanced Level Foundation. It offers an alternative to a two-year A-level for students with a lower language entry point who require a more incremental approach.
GCSE This course is for students aged 14 or 15 who want a pathway to a British university and have not yet finished High School education in their home country. We will determine the right path for every student — from a three-term accelerated course to a two-year programme.
International High School Programme This programme provides development in English and academic subjects within an international high school. Students follow a British curriculum within a small class environment, and have the opportunity to sit formal British exams.
Art and Design Preparation Programme This course is perfect for students who need to develop their portfolio and/or their language level prior to a main art-related course. As such is it highly flexible and adaptable to their specific needs, and has been carefully designed to integrate with several art-related programmes at Kings.
IELTS Preparation Course This course is for students who need an intensive course of 28 lessons per week to develop general language skills while also gaining specialist preparation for the IELTS exam.
Super Intensive IELTS
Art Foundation
This course is for students who need a full-time, very intensive course which concentrates 100% on skills for IELTS and offers thorough preparation for the exam in as short a time as possible.
This course is for students wanting the fastest, most direct path to an art and design-related degree course at a UK university.
English for Academic Study
International Business Foundation This course is for students who want either a recognised, stand-alone business qualification, or are intending to use it to progress to a university degree course related to business or management.
Tourism and Hospitality Management Foundation This course is for students who want to progress to a university degree course related to tourism and hospitality management, or to a career in this sector.
Level 4 Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality This course is for students who want fast-track entry to Year 2 of a degree course in Tourism and Hospitality Management, or to begin a career at junior management level.
University of Aberdeen Second Year Entry Programme This accelerated programme is offered in partnership with the University of Aberdeen and provides a dedicated pathway to second year entry on a range of undergraduate degrees, including Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geoscience, Business and Petroleum Engineering.
This course is for students who do not yet have the English language level needed to start a Kings pre-university course, and who need careful and thorough preparation for the intellectual and linguistic demands of GCSE, A-level or Kings Foundation courses.
Academic Summer Programme This prestigious course is delivered at Christ Church College, Oxford. It is designed to prepare students for the English-speaking academic world. Aimed at learners who are contemplating taking a degree course in an English-speaking university, the course provides them with the necessary linguistic, study and thinking skills to maximise their potential.
Graduate Preparation Programme This course is ideal if you have already completed an undergraduate degree and want to study at Masters level in the UK. It provides intensive academic study skills and IELTS preparation, and will ensure a Conditional Letter of Acceptance from a range of partner universities.
