The International Year One allows you to study the first year of an undergraduate degree at an NCUK Study Centre, locally or in the UK, and progress directly into Year 2 of a degree at university.
The International Year One has five subject routes to choose from with progression options to 300+ degree courses across 30 leading universities in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Designed exclusively for international students, the International Year One will give you the confidence to study at an international university by equipping you with the English language and academic study skills needed to be successful at university.
As the International Year One is delivered by our Global Network of Study Centres, you can choose to start your university degree locally in your home country (or nearby), or at one of our Study Centres in the UK.
The International Year One is a credit-bearing programme equivalent to the first year of a university undergraduate degree and is trusted by universities worldwide.
