International Foundation Year
Your pathway to a degree at Queen Mary University of London and beyond.
Our International Foundation Year is a one academic year programme designed for international and EU students who need additional preparation before starting an undergraduate degree.
Taught by Queen Mary academics at our Mile End and Whitechapel campuses, the programme helps you develop the academic knowledge, study skills and English language proficiency needed for university study. On successful completion, you can progress to more than 100 undergraduate degree programmes at Queen Mary. Alternatively, through our membership of the University Pathway Alliance, the programme also offers progression opportunities to other top UK institutions.
