This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at Coventry University. If you successfully complete the IFP you can achieve progression on a suitable programme of undergraduate study at Coventry University. 

This programme lasts for six months. The course is divided into two terms of 14 and 10  to teaching weeks respectively. Students undertake up to 30 hours of classroom-based study per week. English language delivery will necessarily vary according to the ability and needs of each student individually, and will be investigated on entry testing. Each student is assigned with a personal tutor 

What will I study?

This programme includes English and three academic subject modules: business, engineering and physical sciences (February and June start), Humanities and Social Sciences (February start), Life Sciences (February start). English will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects, as well as being taught separately. If you need additional English support to develop your English language, further support classes are available.

There are two academic pathways to choose from and you will study the pathway most suited to your chosen progression degree. Academic skills relevant to the specific subject area will be taught to help you prepare for university study. 

How will I be assessed?

You will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure you are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final term. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the University environment, and include project work, essays, presentations and unseen examinations.
