What is an undergraduate pathway?
Begin your study abroad journey with an undergraduate pathway course that will help you meet the English language and academic requirements necessary for admission to one of our university partners in the UK and US.
Your route to university abroad
Our pathway courses give you the opportunity to study abroad while achieving the necessary entry requirements to university level.
University student status, with access to all facilities and students services from day one.
Study alongside a supportive international student community, who understand your worries and aspirations.
After you successfully complete your pathway course, you will have the chance to seamlessly transition into your degree course. This will enable you to maintain your academic momentum and stay on track to achieve your goals.
Why you should study an undergraduate pathway?
There might be a few reasons why might need to complete a pathway course before doing a degree course at a university:
You don't have the required English Language score
Most universities have a minimum English language entry requirement (IELTS or equivalent) for admission, our pathways help you achieve the right English skills to start your degree.
You don't have the grades required for entry
It might happen that the university you want to apply to requires grades above the ones you have previously achieve in your academic studies, a pathway gives your focussed academic tuition tailored to your chosen subject area.
Your home country education system is not recognised for direct entry
Some countries education systems might be shorter or not recognised for direct entry to university, a pathway bridges that gap so you can obtain the right skills to start your degree.
You don't feel ready to study at university level
Our Pathway courses are thoughtfully designed to empower international students to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. With our support, students can improve their English proficiency and study confidently alongside their peers across a range of subjects.

I would like to first try to work as a lab assistant or something that I can do since I’m studying Medical Science, and then maybe further it down to go for medicine and become maybe a physician assistant.
