Why choose the King's International Foundation Programme?
The King's International Foundation Programme is a one-year specialist academic preparation programme designed for ambitious international students who want to study an undergraduate degree in the UK. Please note that UK students typically do not qualify for this programme. Tailored pathways develop your subject knowledge, introduce you to UK higher education and enhance your academic English. We also offer an extended option comprising five weeks' intensive online English language preparation for those who need a language boost before joining the substantive King's International Foundation Programme. As a King’s student from day one, you can access all our facilities, activities and support. You will also have a personal tutor for guidance and support with your studies and degree application. Important update: The application deadline has been extended until 31 July. Pathways and module combinations may close before the deadline if capacity is reached. We recommend submitting your application as soon as possible.
