International Foundation Programme (Autumn start)

The Kent International Foundation Programme (IFP) is primarily designed for international students, allowing them to develop their academic knowledge and skills, and, if required, their English language ability for entry to undergraduate study at university. The programme, offered at the University of Kent for over 40 years, takes place on the Canterbury campus. Students are full members of the University with access to accommodation and all academic, welfare, social and sports facilities on campus. With academic subject modules and academic skills modules taught by highly qualified University of Kent tutors, the IFP leads to a wide range of degree programmes at the University. Progression to a degree programme is automatic at the end of the IFP if the required grades are achieved. In 2022, 100% of IFP students progressed onto degree courses at Kent.
