This is an ideal course for students who are slightly older and prefer a one-year option rather than a two-year A-level course. However, prior to application, students should know which career route they wish to follow at university.
The course has a substantial academic content equivalent to A-level and students are required to sit a significant number of formal assessments, increasingly demanding. English language tuition is provided alongside academic studies and students are required to sit the IELTS examination.
Very often, international students who have completed their High School education are required to do a Foundation Year in order to gain access to an undergraduate degree course in the UK. At Bosworth we offer the same academic rigour as A-level across this intensive one-year modular programme. Our A-level subject specialists enable our UFP students to develop a deep level of understanding across their core and elective subject modules.
Leading UK universities are keen to recruit Bosworth foundation students with high scores in their academics and IELTS across their competitive degree courses, making Bosworth’s UFP an ideal solution for hard-working and focused international students who want to progress within one-year.
The programme provides 20+ hours of direct study per week, depending on the level of IELTS provision required, as well as supervised study periods. Students will study three subjects in combination with IELTS. The course consists of 70% exam, 20% coursework and 10% controlled assessment. For Maths, the exam is 90%. UFP provides a fundamental background to academic work at university level, ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary communication, numerical and analytical skills.
