2 What is the International Foundation Programme? A levels are not the best option for all students. Many students know that they want to study a degree in a Business, Engineering, Science, Music or Humanities-related subject at university. The IFP enables them to study a range of subjects and topics of direct relevance to their proposed undergraduate studies. The IFP was created as an alternative to A levels to meet the needs of those students who desire a more specific pre-university experience. Students who perform well on the IFP are able to progress to our BSc in Business &, awarded by the University of Buckingham. They can also use it to apply to a wide selection of other universities. Our International Foundation Programme is a one-year, full-time course preparing international students for direct entry into a number of British universities. Students can choose from four subject pathways, each of which includes Core Skills and Pathway-specific modules: Pathways: Business, & Accounting Engineering Humanities Music Science and Health Why Choose Abbey DLD? The Abbey DLD Group is a network of five independent colleges, uniquely placed to offer students from the United Kingdom and around the world a college tailored to meet their individual requirements. The colleges have a long-standing reputation for delivering a premium quality education. All of the colleges share a similar approach to education: to help all our students to achieve the very best academic results. This is done through rigorous but informal teaching, small class sizes, frequent testing and expert teachers who have the interests of each student at the centre of everything they do. 6 REASONS TO CHOOSE OUR COLLEGES - Are you aiming to attend one of the UK s top twenty universities? - Are you aiming to ultimately pursue a career in one of the professions? - Are you aiming to work for a blue chip company in the UK or overseas? - Do you want to prove to yourself and/or to others that you are capable of achieving the very highest grades? - Do you want to work in the more adult environment of a college compared with that of a school? - Do you want to work alongside students from across the world who share the same high aspirations as you? COMPARISON BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMMES ABBEY DLD GROUP OF COLLEGES IFP UNIVERSITY-BASED FOUNDATION PROGRAMMES Small group sizes with high levels of personal attention. Teaching by staff with both academic and professional teaching qualifications. Specialism in delivering courses to international students using EFL methodologies. Integration of EFL methods across the curriculum. High level support. Specialist preparation from experienced teachers. Integrated academic and pastoral support. Dedicated personal tutor always available for sameday appointment. Intimate, caring, nurturing College environment with own tutor. Abbey DLD IFP progression options to over 50 universities to date. Larger groups with little attention given to each student. Teaching by staff with academic, though not necessarily professional teaching qualifications. Lack of specialised experience in teaching international students at pre-degree level. EFL teaching as an add on. Less personalized support. Generic EFL preparation. Less coherent approach to student progress and wellbeing. Personal tutor allocated but availability often poor. Going onto a campus of 5,000+ students with no / very limited pastoral care. You only progress to chosen Foundation University and progression NOT guaranteed so no / very limited fall back options

Manchester Birmingham Cambridge London Why Study IFP in the UK? There are many good quality foundation programmes run by or affiliated to UK universities that are taught outside the UK. Whilst attending a foundation programme in your home country can sometimes reduce accommodation costs, there are many additional benefits for students who come to the UK to study this programme. A UK based foundation programme can give you: - A chance to improve your. You will be speaking in your daily life, not just in lessons. - A route to acceptance on a degree course. If you are based in the UK for your foundation programme you can easily visit the universities you prefer to help you make your decision. - University entrance criteria. Which universities will accept IFP? Our past foundation students have received offers from many of the UK s acclaimed universities, including: Aberystwyth Anglia Ruskin Aston Bath Bath Spa Birmingham Birmingham City Bradford Brighton Bristol Brunel Buckingham Cass Business School Cardiff Chester City City of Westminster Coventry Durham Edinburgh Essex East London European Business School Exeter Greenwich School of Hertfordshire Hull Keele Kent King s College London Kingston Lancaster Leeds Leicester Loughborough Lincoln - A supportive environment in which tutorial and pastoral care are important. When you start your degree course you will feel much more at home in the UK and therefore be able to concentrate better on your first year degree studies. - The chance to settle in the city or region where you intend to study.
