International Foundation Year - Healthcare

UK

What will I learn?

Our International Foundation Year is an initial year of study for international students who don’t yet meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate (Bachelor) degree at the University. During the International Foundation Year, you’ll gain the academic, English language and study skills you need to progress straight onto your chosen undergraduate degree – there’s no need to reapply. The University of Leeds International Foundation Year is one of the most established programmes of its type in the UK offered by a QS 2024 World Top 75 University. Since 1989, we have been helping high-achieving students to realise their ambition of studying with us. The International Foundation Year starts every September and follows the standard UK academic year. You’ll be taught by inspirational academics who share your passion for your subject on our beautiful single-site campus.
