A Foundation Year is a specialised course for overseas students whose home qualifications are not usually accepted for study at UK universities.

Imperial does not offer its own Foundation Year. However, the vast majority of Imperial departments accept students from the following two UK Foundation courses:

• UCL UPCSE: the University Preparatory Certificate for Science and Engineering
• Warwick IFP: an International Foundation Programme with an Engineering specialisation

If you are studying one of the above Foundation Years and wish to apply for undergraduate study at Imperial, please contact your department of interest to check that they accept Foundation Years and if so, what grades are required for entry.

You can find the contact details for each department in the 'contact us' section of each course webpage.
