If you would like to study at Surrey, but do not meet the requirements for direct entry to the University, you can take the International Foundation Year at the International Study Centre (ISC), which will ensure you gain the skills and knowledge to succeed in your degree.
The International Foundation Year is a tailor-made three-term course of academic subjects, study skills and English language training that provides an intensive, direct path to degree study. The course prepares you for undergraduate study in a range of subject areas at the University.
Modules
There are two subject route options offering specialist preparation for a wide variety of undergraduate programmes. All Foundation routes are modular in structure. There are core modules common to each route. These are modules which every student must take as they provide essential preparation for study in a UK university. You will also study route-specific modules, each carefully designed to focus on the academic areas most useful to your planned subject of study.
Your study will consist of 16 hours per week lecture and seminar style classes, and 25 hours per week made up of small group seminar work and directed self-study.
Below is the list of International Foundation routes and Bachelor course you will be able to access on successful completion of the International Foundation Year:
