Accelerated International Year 1
Study the first year of your undergraduate degree in just two terms
The Accelerated International Year 1 in Business and Management provides specialist business modules designed to prepare you for the second year of your undergraduate degree. Equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree, you'll be fully prepared to progress directly to the second year of your chosen degree at a selection of universities.
What is the Accelerated International Year 1?
Our Accelerated International Year 1 programme allows you to study the International Year 1 in just two terms, meaning you start your undergraduate degree sooner. This is an intensive course of study, with eight modules taught over the two terms.
On this programme, you will receive the same level of expert support as you would on the three-term International Year 1, while also benefitting from additional study hours each week, ensuring you gain the skills you need for university. As this is an accelerated programme, you’ll be expected to commit to a high level of private study in order to succeed in this demanding programme.
