    Program Overview

    What Bournemouth University International College says about their program:
    "If you want to study a bachelor’s degree at a UK university, but don’t currently meet the entry requirements, then a Foundation Certificate could be the right study option for you.


    If you don’t meet the entry requirements to go to a UK university directly, degree preparation courses like a Foundation Certificate can help you reach the level needed to start a bachelor’s degree. You’re guaranteed a place at university when you pass your course at the required level with good attendance."
