Pathway courses – or foundation degrees as they’re known in the UK and elsewhere – are designed to prepare students for degree level study. If you want to apply to an American university but don’t quite meet the admission requirements, a foundation program will get you up to speed and secure your place in higher education!
Foundation programs are an incredibly popular option for international students who want to obtain a degree from the USA, live independently away from home and improve their English language skills. Some foundation courses will also guarantee you entry into the first year of your degree.
Bridging courses are usually short, intensive courses that help you get the assumed knowledge you need for your further university study – such as economics theory, or examination skills. A bridging program or pre-university program is useful if you are returning to study after some time. If you’re planning on studying a Masters degree, a pre-masters program may also be useful. Most foundation courses are combined with some language study, so you’ll be able to develop your English ability while you settle into university life.
Some foundation programs are offered by specialist private or government-funded colleges. Others are taught on a University campus, so you can access the library and computer labs, as well as the support services and social clubs. Foundation courses usually take one year to complete, while bridging courses may just take a semester.
You should expect a university-style of teaching, such as lectures and tutorials. These will help you develop your study skills.
