"There are two main benefits to studying at an international college. First, meeting people from different cultures. Secondly, it is easier to adapt to living in a foreign country when you are surrounded with people who are in the same situation."

A Levels

A Levels are British qualifications, accepted by all universities in the UK and recognised in the USA and Australia. This gives you a world of choice. Students typically study three or four subjects with exams at the end of two years. 

Foundation pathways

A one-year course for international students that builds specialist subject knowledge and language and study skills. It is more focussed than A Levels making it good preparation for university. It is recognised for entry on to a range of degree programmes at more than 70 universities in the UK.

GCSE

GCSEs are taken as a course of study before taking A Levels or a Foundation pathway. We offer a 2 Year GCSE Pathway programme as well as an intensive 3 and 4 term GCSE programme, offering students from the age of 14 years an early opportunity to establish the language, learning and cultural skills they need to succeed in the highly competitive world of higher education.

English language courses

If you don’t meet the English language entry requirements for the GCSE, A Level, Foundation or Undergraduate Year 1 programme, you can first study one to three terms of English speaking and writing.
