What will I learn?

The Kent International Foundation Programme (IFP) is primarily designed for international students, allowing them to develop their academic knowledge and skills, and if required their English language ability, for entry to undergraduate study at university.The programme, on offer at the University of Kent for over 40 years, takes place on the Canterbury campus and students are full members of the University with access to University accommodation and all academic, welfare, social and sport facilities on campus.With academic subject modules and academic skills modules taught by highly qualified University of Kent tutors, the IFP is your first step to a wide range of degree programmes at the University.Progression on to your degree programme is automatic at the end of the IFP, if you achieve the required grades.
