In recent years, many top-ranked global and UK universities including University College London (UCL) and King’s College London (KCL), have rejected some very deserving candidates. Here are some reasons why:
What’s more, is that many of the highly-qualified students who are rejected for any of the reasons listed above, are just a few courses away from meeting entry requirements.
Foundation Programs provide a year of extra subject-focused learning, as well as the time and support needed for students to master their English. Some Foundation Programs are even integrated into a student's first year as an undergraduate, thus enabling them to graduate in the same cohort as other students their age. The courses are taught to the highest standards, providing students with the best chance to achieve academic success.
Many students attending foundation programs are usually the first in their family to study abroad. In addition to academic rigour, the Crimson Foundation Program works to build each student’s candidacy, while smoothing out the transition to overseas study. For example, Crimson can help students navigate the many options available, while helping students connect their current interests to undergraduate programs and careers. We are fully committed to helping all students open every door available to them.
