Join Abbey DLD Colleges – International Foundation Programme

Our International Foundation Programme (IFP) is an intensive year 13 academic programme that offers international students direct entry to a wide range of UK universities.

In 2020, Abbey DLD Students students achieved an average overall score of 72% on our foundation programme.

Why study International Foundation Programme?

Unlike many foundation programmes, our destinations are limited to a choice of one or two partner universities. This means students are free to progress to a wide range of UK universities, including many top-ranked Russell Group institutions.

The programme offers a range of subject-related pathways, which give access to complementary subjects at university. Each pathway is made up of a number of modules, depending on which pathway you choose you might have a choice of modules, they may be all compulsory, or a mix of elective and compulsory modules.

Each module is assessed individually, with three assessment points through each term. Students will achieve an overall score based on all their individual module assessments.

Our colleges are located in three of the UK’s most exciting cities. Each college has its own unique personality, but we are united by the goal of providing a high quality British education to students from around the world.
