This pathway is designed for students interested in both traditional and modern arts and social science degrees, from ancient history to digital media and comparative literature to philosophy; this pathway is for the curious and lays the academic foundation for over 30 degrees at King’s.
The King's International Foundation provides a structured journey for you to enter into a wide range of undergraduate degrees at King’s, or at another university in the UK. Up to 90% of students met their entry conditions to progress to King’s for undergraduate study over the last five years.
You will learn essential skills to prepare you for the demands of undergraduate study including:
By the end of the programme, you will have improved your overall academic skills, your academic language and have a more detailed understanding of your chosen academic subject area.
During the first semester, you will receive dedicated support to apply for your degree.
As a full-time, 120-credit programme, all students undertake a minimum of 15 hours of live, face-to-face study on the programme, in addition to an average 20 hours of self-study a week. This includes preparation for live sessions, revision, homework, completion of assignments and any other work set by your teachers.
The programme is typically taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, classes and practicals. We use a delivery method that ensures students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face-to-face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment.
You will be assigned a personal tutor to provide you with the opportunity to periodically take stock of your learning academic progress and general well-being as you progress through your studies.
The first term of the blended programme will be studied online where you will be expected to participate in online and self-directed study tasks, flexibly, for up to 35 hours per week. During the online component of the course, classes will include a combination of self-directed interactive learning units, live online lessons, and collaborative tasks.
