Warwick Foundation Studies
Welcome to Warwick Foundation Studies
We're home to the Warwick International Foundation Programme, the University's Pre-sessional English and In-sessional English provision and a suite of Summer School courses for students aged 16 and over.
Our mission is to develop and deliver programmes that provide students with an insight into university study or that effectively enable them to transition to a substantive degree programme at the University of Warwick. Our academic staff provide disciplinary expertise across a range of subject areas and levels of study, whilst our in-house professional services team ensures a comprehensive service for our students.
International Foundation Programme
The Warwick IFP has a long history of helping international students progress into Warwick and other top UK universities.
It is designed for high school students from around the world, who are not eligible for direct entry to undergraduate study in the UK.
Warwick Summer Schools
Our Summer Schools provide a unique combination of learning from academics across the University, high-profile guest speakers, and fun and engaging social and cultural programmes. Students can experience life at Warwick with peers from around the world, exploring new areas of study and making lifelong friends.
Pre-Sessional English
Our Pre-sessional courses are designed for students who have an offer to study for a degree at the University of Warwick and whose first language is not English. Choosing to study a Pre-sessional English course with us is a great alternative way to meet an outstanding language condition, and to prepare for full-time study at Warwick.
In-Sessional English
In-sessional English classes are additional academic English language classes for international students who are already studying for a degree at the University of Warwick.
We can also arrange specialist in-sessional classes for academic departments. Find out more and contact us.

Professional Weekend Retreats
Our Weekend Retreats have been designed for executive-level managers seeking professional development and networking opportunities, engaging with of-the-moment themes relevant to all sectors. Courses will run Friday - Sunday.
