International Foundation Programme in Humanities and Social Sciences

As part of the College's provision for international students, we also offer a one-year pre-undergraduate foundation course for Humanities and Social Sciences. The International Foundation Programme (IFP) provides English language tuition and academic courses in Business Management, Economics, Politics and International Relations, Mathematics, Spanish, Geography, Japanese and Literature, Art and Film.

The course is taught on the Mile End campus by Queen Mary teaching and research staff. Foundation students live in College accommodation and have access to all Queen Mary facilities.

Successful foundation students are guaranteed progression to linked degree programmes at Queen Mary including the LLB. The programme is also suitable for students who would like to study at other universities in the UK after their foundation year.
