The International Foundation Programme prepares you with the skills, knowledge, and experience you need to gain direct entry to undergraduate degrees. The programme’s world-class teaching is recognised globally. The IFP is one of the most widely accepted foundation programmes in the world.

International Foundation Programme (IFP)

The programme is delivered by one of our Recognised Teaching Centres across the world and you are taught in classrooms with access to our Virtual Learning Environment.
The studies are academically rigorous and cover a wide range of topics including Law, Economics, Politics and more.
This pre-university programme is equivalent in standard to qualifications to Year 13 (i.e. A levels) for UK based students.
You are guaranteed entry to the wide ranging undergraduate degrees offered through the University of London and with academic direction from its member intuitions; London School of Economics (LSE), Goldsmiths, King’s College London and Royal Holloway.
As an IFP student, you can also apply to study at a wide range of universities in the UK and other countries.

Assessment

IFP courses are assessed by an unseen written examination. Candidates who pass all four courses are awarded the University of London International Foundation Certificate with a grade of 'Pass', 'Merit' or 'Distinction'.

Exams are held in late April/early May each year. You can sit these at a University of London examination centre. A fee is payable to the local examination centre.

Students who marginally fail one course are eligible to resit that examination in July of the same year.

Entry requirements

GCSE/National 4/National 5:

C - A Grades / Points required

To register for the International Foundation Programme, you will need to meet the following minimum criteria: Age 17+ by 31 December in the year of registration. Hold four separate subjects at GCSE / O level (grades A*-C / 9-4), or the equivalent. Meet the English language requirements. Have a place to study at a Recognised Teaching Centre for the programme. Some teaching centres require higher grades from applicants. Each teaching centre can advise you of their entry criteria.
