The University of Warwick's International Foundation Programme has undergone an extensive academic review, ready for students joining us in September 2026.
The programme now centres on three base courses, each containing a range of specialised subject routes. This new model allows students to explore their chosen discipline in depth while also engaging with ideas and approaches from the related subject areas.
Students will benefit from interdisciplinary teaching, a wider contextual understanding of their field, and the opportunity to develop transferable skills that are essential for university and future careers. The new course structure supports a connected learning experience, preparing students to think critically, work collaboratively, and succeed in a diverse and dynamic academic environment.
Full details of the courses, modules and application process will be available shortly. In the meantime, you can register your interest in the programmeLink opens in a new window and we'll notify you when applications open.
