PROGRAMME DESCRIPTIONThe International Foundation Programme in
Humanities & Social Sciences has been developed in
collaboration with our Schools of Arts & Humanities, Social
Science & Public Policy and Law. It is a full-time one year
programme for international students who have completed twelve
years of schooling with excellent grades. It prepares you for
undergraduate degree programmes at King's and other top UK
universities and combines study in your chosen academic subject
with academic English and study skills.
By the end of the programme, you will be familiar with UK academic
culture, have improved your overall language and academic skills
levels and have a more detailed understanding of your chosen
academic discipline. You will also be ready to start your
undergraduate degree and be fully settled into university life.
This programme has an excellent reputation in the UK and is
accepted by King’s and UK universities as evidence that you have
reached the required entry levels for undergraduate study. Many of
our students go onto King’s for their undergraduate degree as we
guarantee conditional offers for undergraduate degrees in Arts
& Humanities, Law and Social Science subjects such as Business
Management, International Politics and Geography. Students who do
not meet their offer requirements or who wish to stay at King’s can
progress onto undergraduate degrees at other UK universities and we
offer extensive UCAS support to all students.
This programme will:
- Provide you with a clear route into King's undergraduate programmes and the undergraduate programmes of other top UK universities
- Provide you with a specially-designed course related to the academic field in which you intend to study
- Provide you with a range of academic study skills to enable you to succeed in your undergraduate study
- Improve your overall English proficiency
- Introduce you to the UK educational system and its academic culture
