University Preparation Courses for International Students

International and EU students who do not meet the minimum undergraduate entry requirements have the opportunity to study a preparation course at the University of Lincoln International Study Centre.

Students can apply for the International Foundation Year, a one-year course that aims to prepare
you for the first year of your chosen degree. Students can choose from two subject routes:

● International Foundation Year in Business and Media

equivalent of the first year of an undergraduate degree. Students can choose from four subject
routes:

Upon successful completion, students are able to progress to an undergraduate degree at the
