We have one of the UK’s longest established international foundation programmes, spanning four decades. We see high progression and success rates thanks to tailored teaching and support delivered by the University of Reading Global Academy.
At Reading, we are with you throughout your foundation studies and beyond, with continued academic support on your degree helping you achieve academic success.
You can choose a four-year Degree with Integrated International Foundation Year, study our standard one-Year International Foundation Pathway (IFP) or study through our University-based partnership with ONCAMPUS Reading (UFP).
Applications for an IFP may be made directly to the International Foundation Pathway at the University of Reading.
As one of the first university-owned programmes, with 40 years of experience, the IFP gives you the highest quality preparation for your undergraduate studies.
We provide you with a number of downloadable leaflets and films, arranged by country. You also have access to a Transferable Academic Skills Kit (TASK). A series of study skills textbooks created by members of our IFP academic staff.
As well as country-specific scholarships we also offer an IFP Ambassador Scholarship where students create content and share their experiences about the IFP.
There are more than 4,700 international students at the University of Reading. Meet some our IFP students and see what they have to say about studying at Reading.
InForm is the journal and conference of teaching and learning-related practice for members of the academic community associated with International Foundation Programmes (IFPs).
The Global Study Lounge supports international students and facilitates global engagement and intercultural communication for the University community.
