The International Foundation Programme is a one year course designed for International students who do not have the required GCE A levels or equivalent qualifications for entry to Aston University undergraduate degree programmes.

You are guaranteed a place on an undergraduate degree if you successfully complete the International Foundation Programme and meet the specific academic and English language grades for the relevant programme. 


There are three subject streams available, which act as an excellent introduction to studying your chosen subject at Undergraduate level. The programme also provides students whose first language is not English the opportunity to improve their academic English communication skills. Additional English language modules are included for students who require this to meet the entry requirements of their degree programme.


You will be on the same campus as the other Aston University undergraduate and postgraduate students and you will live in the same accommodation and have access to all the same facilities. Most of your lecturers will also teach on the other degree programmes and you will meet them again in your undergraduate studies.
