Who Can Enroll in Foundation Programmes?
If a student has not received strong academic marks and has a lower English level than the minimal admission criteria, they are suggested to attend a two to three term foundation course. International students intending to study a foundation must have a minimum IELTS score of 5.0, with no single element less than 4.5. If you do not have official English qualifications, you may need to enrol in an English language course or college before beginning your foundation course.
