The International Foundation Diploma Level 3 is a one-year programme designed to prepare international students for undergraduate study at UK universities.

Qualification Overview

The International Foundation Diploma Level 3 is a one-year programme designed to prepare international students for undergraduate study at UK universities. The programme is specifically designed for students who have completed secondary education in a non-UK education system and need to improve their academic skills and English language proficiency.

Throughout the programme, students will study a range of core modules that will develop their academic skills, including critical thinking, research, and independent study. They will also take modules in their chosen subject area, which may include Business, Engineering, Law, Science, or Humanities. In addition to academic modules, students will also receive intensive English language tuition to help them improve their language proficiency. The language tuition will focus on developing the students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, as well as their academic language and vocabulary.

The programme is assessed through a combination of coursework, exams, and presentations. Students will also receive regular feedback and support from their tutors to help them improve their academic performance.
