International Year One: graduate with a UK undergraduate degree in 3 years  

International Year One (IYO)* is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s degree, with the benefit of additional English language and academic support. This will prepare students to continue directly into Year 2 of an undergraduate degree. With no additional study time, they will complete their degree in the same amount of time as domestic students. 

Students can choose from a range of subjects from architecture to psychology, and progress to Year 2** of their desired degree at the university. 

If they don’t meet the entry qualifications for the International Year One, students can apply for an International Foundation program.

iCAS: one visa, one study plan, no fuss 

Students can combine their International Year One, International Foundation or Pre-Master's pathway with an undergraduate or postgraduate degree with a single, integrated CAS (iCAS). This means students only need to apply for one visa from their study pathway until they graduate from university. 

With this continuous study plan, they can avoid the hassle and the extra costs of visa renewal in between their studies.
