Foundation Programme - NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY)

NCUK is unique in UK higher education. It is a consortium of leading UK universities dedicated to providing international students with guaranteed access to universities and helping students to succeed when they get there.
 
NCUK qualifications are recognised by NCUK universities and by most others across the UK, including many in the Russell Group, and also by universities internationally.
 
Since 1987, NCUK has helped 30,000 students gain access to leading UK universities. NCUK delivers pathway programmes that allow you to gain the skills and qualifications you need to succeed at university.
 
The NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY) is designed with NCUK university partners to prepare international students for first year entry to undergraduate degree courses.
 
Its purpose is to help bridge the gap between a student's local qualification and starting a university degree.
 
Students who successfully complete the IFY gain guaranteed access to thousands of degree courses at NCUK universities. No one else can offer this guarantee.
 
Why study the NCUK IFY at MPW?
Your best possible start
