Foundation entry
There are a number of ways in which prospective students can demonstrate English language proficiency, and the Centre for International Foundation Programmes (CIFP) also accepts the English language component of the national high school leaving qualification from a number of countries.
There are also other language tests which are acceptable for entry onto our foundation programmes, including the ALCE. Please contact us for more information about entry requirements not listed on this page.
For specific information about additional academic entry requirements for foundation programmes, please refer to the CIFP webpages.
