The Placement Process

Our structured placement process is straightforward and supportive, guiding you every step of the way. Upon enrolling in one of our foundation, undergraduate, or pre-master's programs at an ISC, you'll follow these key stages:

1. Initial Assessment and Enrollment: We evaluate your academic background and English proficiency to place you in the most suitable program. Personalized advice ensures you choose the right pathway.
2. Academic Preparation: During your studies (typically 1-2 semesters), you'll build skills in your subject area while improving language abilities. Small class sizes and expert tutors provide tailored support.
3. Progression Monitoring: Regular assessments track your performance. We offer extra tutoring if needed to help you meet progression requirements.
4. Guaranteed Progression: Achieve the required grades (e.g., 50-60% average, depending on the program), and you'll automatically progress to Year 1 of your undergraduate degree or the full master's program at our partner university. No additional applications required!
5. Visa and Support Services: Our dedicated team assists with visa extensions, accommodation, and orientation to the host university.

This process minimizes stress and maximizes your chances of success. For example, students on our International Foundation Year (IFY) programs progress directly into degrees like BSc Computer Science at the University of Sussex or BA Business Management at Lancaster University.
