What is a Pathway course?
A pathway is a course that is taken before applying to university. These are often taken by international students who would like to improve their English proficiency and academic skills before enrolling at university in an English speaking country.
If you successfully complete a pathway course at British Study Centres then you can progress onto a range of over 70 UK universities and a number of others worldwide.
How does a Pathway course work?
- Contact British Study Centres and apply for the course (you'll need a high school diploma and English proficiency qualification such as the IELTS).
- Your course begins (either online or at our study centre in London).
- You'll take modules that improve your knowledge of the western university system and enhance your academic English.
- With help from our expert team, you'll apply to do your degree at one of our partner institutions.
- You start a university degree in the subject of your choice!
Which universities can I apply to?
This depends on the Pathway you take. At British Study Centres we are partners with two highly respected organsations: NCUK and Language Cert.
Students completing the International Foundation Year will get guaranteed entry to an NCUK partner university and can also apply to the extended range of NCUK member universities in the UK and around the world.
Students completing the Pre-Sessional English course will receive a Language Cert qualification accepted by over 70 universities in the UK and more around the world. You will also be able to progress straight onto the International Foundation Year programme if you choose thereby giving you guaranteed entry once you finish.
