The International University Foundation Programme (IUFP) is a one year full - time pre - degree course, which offers students an alternative entry route to leading universities in 5 continents (Africa, Australia, Middle- East, North- America and Europe) for degree courses.
The programme is aimed at international students, including those based in the United Kingdom and seeking direct admittance at leading Universities without the need to undertake a two-year GCE 'A ‘level course.
The IUFP is designed to be completed over a period of one academic year (9 months) for the Standard Scheme, though students enrolled on the Intensive Scheme can complete the course in six months (usually between January and June).
Broad Concept International (for now) runs the IUFP standard scheme which is built to run from September to June of the following year.
