Why study this course?
The International Foundation Year/International Degree Programme provides excellent
preparation for degree level study for overseas students. It is suitable for students whose
current academic qualifications and/or English language level do not allow direct application
to the first year of a Bachelor’s degree programme.
The course prepares you academically for your future studies but also
enhances your learning skills, employability and integration into British
culture and society.
What will this mean for my future?
Our programmes allow progression to all subjects across business, science,
the social sciences, and humanities. For further information on entry
requirements refer to the International Foundation Year web page at
www.keele.ac.uk/study/foundationyears/internationalstudents/
Indicative Modules
The course content is flexible and
designed to prepare individual students
for progression. You will take skills
and academic modules designed
to fully prepare you for your chosen
degree programme. Additional English
language training is available as
necessary.
