Improve your English
If you do not meet the English language requirements to study the International Foundation Year, you can improve your level of English with the English Language Preparation programme.
English Language Preparation programme
Taught at the Leeds International Study Centre, the English Language Preparation programme is a one-term course that you study before you start your academic course. We offer different entry dates, so you are able to start your International Foundation Year whenever suits you.
Once you successfully complete the programme, and achieve the required grades, you will go on to study your chosen International Foundation Year course, before progressing to undergraduate study at the University of Leeds.
Entry requirements
To study the English Language Preparation programme you need to have IELTS 4.0 (with minimum 4.0 in writing), or equivalent.
