Meeting Entry Requirements
If your qualifications are slightly below those required for direct entry onto a Bachelor鈥檚 or Master鈥檚 degree, a foundation programme or pre-Master鈥檚 programme may offer an alternative route to achieve your goals.
Foundation programmes
Foundation programmes are for school-leavers who have studied a non-British curriculum but wish to pursue a degree at a UK university. The foundation course聽acts as a bridge between your current qualifications and our entry requirements and is designed to plug academic gaps, improve your English and familiarise you with UK life and culture in preparation for university.
We offer a range of聽foundation programmes here at BCU and at our partner college, .
Pre-Master鈥檚 programmes
A Pre-Master鈥檚 programme mirrors the concept of a Foundation programme: it is for international students who do not meet the University鈥檚 direct entry requirements for a Master鈥檚 degree. The programme helps students to improve their skills for postgraduate study 鈥� such as academic writing and research 鈥� before they progress to join mainstream students on their chosen Master鈥檚 course.
Pre-Masters are only offered with our partner, .
