The University of Huddersfield International Study Centre offers a range of pathway programmes, including both undergraduate and postgraduate.

International Foundation Year

The International Foundation Year is a two-semester undergraduate programme. It is designed to boost your English language and academic skills to the required level for entry to the first year of your degree at the University of Huddersfield.

International Year One

The International Year One prepares students for entry into the second year of an undergraduate degree. Equivalent to the first year of your degree at the University of Huddersfield, this programme enables you to complete your undergraduate degree in the three standard years. During your time at the International Study Centre, you will improve your academic and English language skills in a supportive environment.

Pre-Master’s

The Pre-Master’s programme prepares you for your chosen postgraduate degree at the University of Huddersfield. You will study subject content as well as English, so that you can begin your degree programme with confidence.

English language courses

Our English language preparation programmes are ideal if you need to improve your English skills to reach the required level for your programme at the International Study Centre. Available for students wishing to study the International Year One and Pre-Master’s Programme, these intensive programmes will boost your English language in under one semester.

You will need to meet certain English language and academic entry requirements to study at the University of Huddersfield International Study Centre.

If you need to improve your English language level prior to studying a pathway programme with us, you can enrol on one of our English language courses.

You will benefit from early exposure to university-style teaching. Our programmes will introduce you to the type of tuition and learning formats that you will experience when you progress onto your degree. This includes a tailor-made curriculum delivered through a mixture of tutorials, seminar-style classes and large group lectures.

We offer a free online preparation course, Prepare for Success, to help you gain a head-start before you start your academic programme.
