A Smarter Foundation YearAccelerated, Not Repeated

Our Foundation Program doesn’t just prepare you for university—it gets you there faster. Unlike traditional prep years that sit outside your degree, half of your courses in our Foundation Program count toward your bachelor’s, meaning you don’t lose time or credits. You’ll start building your transcript on day one, with small classes, expert support, and a clear pathway to success. Most students graduate in three years—on time, on track, and ahead of the game.
