Foundation Courses

The International Degree Programme

The International Degree Programme (IDP) is an integrated course for overseas students whose home educational system does not provide the necessary specialisation for direct admission to Honours courses. It is also an opportunity for students who do not meet the minimum linguistic entry requirements for a degree course to improve their level of English while studying at a university in the UK. The minimum English Language entry requirement for the IDP is IELTS 5.5 (with at least 5.5 in each of the sub-tests) or equivalent.

Students will be registered one of the Science, Social Science, Humanities or Health Foundation programmes. After an initial Foundation Year of study, students who pass will progress to an Honours degree programme. As the programme is integrated, students can apply for a visa for the full duration of the IDP.

The first year offers a range of courses aimed at bridging the gap between current qualifications and the knowledge and skills required for Honours courses.  The Language Learning Unit will test all students on the IDP whose first language is not English. A final decision will then be made about required English modules and the appropriate Foundation Year programme.
