The International Year One is an integrated programme that combines first-year undergraduate degree study with additional academic and English language support.
It is equivalent to the first year of a UK bachelor’s degree and is designed for students who have already completed Level 3 qualifications (such as A-levels or equivalent) and meet the required English language level.
After successfully completing the programme, you will progress directly into the second year of your chosen undergraduate degree. This means you can still complete your full degree in the standard three-year timeframe while benefiting from extra academic support in your first year.
