Foundation
Foundation program in the UK is a preparatory program that prepares students who have studied in another country with a different curriculum in English and academically to be accepted to undergraduate departments of UK universities. Turkish students who want to study for an undergraduate degree at a university in the UK have to take 1 year of foundation (preparatory) education because high school education in the UK and Turkey is different.
A student must have a sufficient command of English to participate in Foundation programs. Within the Foundation program, students are given English language supplements. However, the student is expected to have a certain level of English (IELTS 4.5 - 5.5). The Foundation program prepares students for the undergraduate programs they wish to study, such as business, finance and management, programming, law, art and design, engineering, social sciences, medicine, science and pharmacy, media and humanities.
What is the Pathway Program?
Pathway programs are carefully designed to improve the academic and language skills of international students who want to study undergraduate education in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands, but who do not meet the necessary conditions to be placed in a university. The main purpose is to ensure that you master English language to study. It also provides students with other skills: essay writing, research, teamwork, presentations, note-taking and time management.
What is the Pre-Master's Program?
The Pre-Master's program is to improve the academic and language skills of international students who want to study for a master's degree. It helps students adapt to the education system and to the culture of the country. The duration of the program varies between 3 and 12 months depending on the level of the student. It is not compulsory to participate in the Pre-Master's program to do a master's degree abroad.
