What Is a Foundation Program?
Before we dive into the stories, let’s clarify what a foundation program is. If your child wants to study in the UK but doesn’t meet the direct requirements for a bachelor’s degree, a foundation program offers the perfect stepping stone.
Also called an International Year, International Foundation Year, or International Year Zero, this program helps students gain the academic and language skills they need to thrive in a UK university environment.
Why does this matter? Because studying abroad is a huge commitment—financially, emotionally, and academically. As parents, knowing the process and seeing the potential outcomes can make this decision easier.
Now, let’s hear from students who took this path and made it work for them.
