Exeter International Foundation

University of Exeter

Prepare for entry to Year 1 of an undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter. Choose from 150+ subject areas, ranging from accounting, business and management to biological and environmental sciences, computer science, engineering and humanities.

An accelerated 2-term option is available to students with a higher level of English – or choose the 4-term option for extra English language support. You can also take the opportunity to complete a work placement or study in another country as part of your degree, providing you meet the entry requirements.

If you have a higher English language level, you may qualify for our iCAS – integrated Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) – program. Combining your pathway and degree in a single study plan, you’ll only need one visa for the duration of your studies and can apply with alternative English language qualifications to IELTS.

Apply for one of our iCAS programs.
