PROGRAMME
The Albion College Foundation Programme is designed
for international students who wish to study for
a first degree either at Albion College (see section
on degree programmes) or progress to other universities
in the UK. It is accepted by the vast majority
of British universities including Royal Holloway
(University of London), Queen Mary (University
of London), Westminster, Essex, Birmingham, Manchester
and Sheffield.
Our Foundation Programme is a one year full time
course, and has been devised in consultation with
UK universities to provide the best possible preparation
for a degree programme.
It is ideal for students who wish to study for
degrees in the following subjects:
- Business
- Management
- Accounting
- Law
- Social Sciences
- Computer Studies
- Art & Graphic Design
- Media Studies
- Mathematics
- Engineering
- Physics
In the first term students are given tuition
in Mathematics and IT, as well as courses to improve
Communication Skills and to prepare for the British
Council IELTS examination – an essential
qualification for all degree programmes. Also,
students are taught various study skills which
they will require at university. These include
essay planning, referencing and research skills.
In the second and third terms, students continue
to improve their language skills and prepare for
their IELTS exam. They also take three specialised
modules appropriate to their chosen degree course.
The subjects offered are as follows:
