International Foundation Program

 

The International Foundation program is designed for international students who have completed secondary education but do not yet meet the direct entry requirements for a university Bachelor’s degree abroad. It acts as a bridge between high school and university-level study, preparing students academically, linguistically, and culturally for higher education.

Duration:
Usually one academic year (9–12 months).



Preparation Stages:

1. Academic Preparation:
   Students strengthen their knowledge in key subjects related to their chosen degree — such as business, engineering, science, or social studies.

2. English Language Training:
   Most programs include intensive English courses focused on academic writing, reading, and communication, helping students achieve the required IELTS or TOEFL score.

3. Study Skills Development:
   Foundation courses teach research methods, critical thinking, note-taking, and presentation skills to prepare students for university learning styles.

4. Cultural and Social Adaptation:
   Students are introduced to local university culture and academic expectations, easing their transition into an international environment.

After successfully completing the program, students progress directly to the first year of a Bachelor’s degree at a partner university.
