International Foundation Year

Study the International Foundation Year

The 3-term International Foundation Year at Teesside University International Study Centre is the perfect way for international students like you to achieve your dreams with an undergraduate degree. At the International Study Centre, we have created a supportive and welcoming place of learning – designed to help you adapt and adjust to the UK education system.

We offer two subject pathways leading to a variety of undergraduate degrees at Teesside University, so no matter your interests, you can progress to the degree that is right for you.

Whichever programme length you join us for, your foundation year will be spent developing the subject knowledge, study skills and English language abilities needed to thrive on your undergraduate degree. Once you have successfully completed the programme and joined the first year of your undergraduate degree, you will be fully prepared to continue your academic adventure at Teesside.
