Understanding Pathway Courses
There are two main types of pathway course and the type you should choose depends on your level of study. If you want to study an undergraduate degree, but don’t meet the requirements, then you should choose the International Foundation Year course.
If you are a postgraduate and don’t meet the English Language requirements for entry to a Masters’ degree, then you should pick a pre-masters course.
