Foundation courses are for international students who have finished their high school exams, have completed less than 13 years of education and want to study a degree in the UK. And if you wish to study a foundation course, there are few better places to get ahead in life than the UK’s capital, London.
Why study a foundation course in London?
Many foundation programmes in London offer progression to a number of London universities. Institutions such as Kings Education (University of the Arts London), INTO (City University London) and Study Group (Kingston University) all offer guaranteed progression to selected London universities upon completion of your course.
