At Worthgate School, helping students gain admission to top UK universities is at the heart of what we do. Our University Foundation Programme (UFP) is specially designed for international students who want to study at a British university but need a structured, supportive transition into the UK education system. Whether students aim for business, engineering, law, or the arts, our UFP offers a clear and proven pathway to success.
What Is the University Foundation Programme?
The UFP is a one-year, intensive academic programme tailored for international students aged 17+. It prepares students for undergraduate degrees in the UK and beyond, covering core academic subjects and essential skills such as academic writing, research, and presentation techniques. At Worthgate, our UFP is taught by experienced subject specialists who understand the challenges and opportunities international students face.
Proven Results, Year After Year
Our students regularly progress to some of the UK’s most respected universities, including members of the Russell Group, such as University of Manchester, University of Birmingham, and Queen Mary University of London. These success stories are made possible thanks to Worthgate’s personalised support system: UCAS guidance, interview coaching, personal statement workshops, and individual academic mentoring.
One recent graduate, Sofia from Spain, completed the Business Foundation Pathway and is now studying Marketing at a top London university. Another student, Arman from Kazakhstan, secured a place in Mechanical Engineering after excelling in the Science Foundation Pathway. These are just two examples of the global success stories shaped by our UFP.
