Britain is a great place to study and a degree from a university in the UK can open the door to new academic and career opportunities in an increasingly competitive international market.

Bloomsbury International offers pre-sessional English courses from 2 to 24 weeks and a 9-month International Foundation Programme to assist your entry into the UK University best suited for you.

If English is not your first language or you are not accustomed to studying in a British academic institution, you would benefit greatly from attending a pre-sessional English programme whether it is to improve your language skills as a condition of entry to a British University or, simply to find out more about using English in academic study and the forms and expectations of academic life in the UK.

The International Foundation Programme is your stepping stone to a university degree. The 9-month full-time programme is designed to meet the needs of students who have not reached the required academic level and/or do not meet the minimum English language requirements for entry onto UK degree programmes. The IFP bridges this gap and on successful completion, students will be eligible to go onto courses at universities in the UK.

Whatever your choice, a study programme at Bloomsbury International will give you that important head start before continuing your academic progress.
