University of Greenwich, Certificate, International Foundation Programme with Cultural Studies

Our International Foundation Programmes with Cultural Studies (IFPC) is taught at our beautiful Maritime Greenwich campus which is a World Heritage Site on the banks of the River Thames. As a bustling student friendly town, Greenwich offers a lively student friendly atmosphere that allows students to really feel like they are part of the local community.  From its social scene and its famous market, to a stroll through Greenwich Park and visits to the Royal Observatory and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich also offers a great base to explore with central London just seven minutes by rail.

On successful completion of either of our International Foundation Programmes you can start a degree programme in our Schools of Business, Computing & Mathematics or Humanities.

The IFPC is a one year full time pre-degree programme for international students that already have a minimum IELTS of 6 with a minimum of 5.5 in each skill or equivalent but do not immediately fulfil the academic entry requirements for undergraduate study in the UK.
