NCUK was established in 1987 by its owner universities and has a 21 year history of success in international education.

We work with global partners to deliver programmes which prepare international students for study outside their home country. Over our history 17,000 students have progressed from NCUK programmes to degree courses in the UK. Because of our unique ownership - by 11 of the UK's leading universities - we are able to guarantee all students who complete our programmes a place on an appropriate programme at one of our partner universities.

Our programmes are developed in partnership with our owner universities; are quality assured to the highest standards and are the perfect academic and cultural preparation for higher education. Our bespoke 'English for Academic Purposes' module embeds the delivery of English within our programmes and provides our students with the linguistic ability and the study skills to succeed in higher education.

NCUK Pakistan provides pathway programmes to prepare international students for a UK degree and brings together eleven leading UK Universities and three high profile Pakistani institutions in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. This venture will guarantee successful students the opportunity of completing a full degree in the UK.
