Undergraduate Degree with International Year One
Combining your preparation studies with your undergraduate degree in a single four-year study plan. A single CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) means that you'll study on one visa for the entire program – you don’t have to pay for flights home to renew your visa after Year 1 and can stay in the UK to work over the summer.
Choose from a range of degrees including BA (Hons) Accounting, BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences, BA (Hons) Business Studies, BSc (Hons) Computing Science, BA (Hons) Journalism Studies, and BA (Hons) Sport Studies.
A range of alternative English language qualifications to IELTS are accepted for entry. If you do not meet the minimum English language requirements for this program, you should apply for an International Foundation in Business, Finance, Economics and Marketing, Media, Humanities and Social Sciences or Science, Sport, Computing and Engineering, which also offer progression to undergraduate degrees.
