Who is this programme designed for?
This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at Coventry University. All students who successfully complete the IFP are guaranteed placement on a suitable programme of undergraduate study at Coventry University. The IFP programme is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the UK.
* Guaranteed progression is subject to meeting the specified entry criteria.
The duration of the programme is one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to eight teaching weeks, one reading week and an examination week. You will undertake up to 25 hours of classroom-based study per week.
What will I study?
This programme includes English, and a choice of three academic subject modules chosen according to the progression degree.
How will I be assessed?
You will be assessed by a variety of methods during your time with us: the intention is that you have a chance to experience the full range of assessment methods that you might experience at university when you start your degree.
Universities in the United Kingdom use a centralized system of undergraduate application: University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). It is used by both domestic and international students. Students have to register on the UCAS website before applying to the university. They will find all the necessary information about the application process on this website. Some graduate courses also require registration on this website, but in most cases students have to apply directly to the university. Some universities also accept undergraduate application through Common App (the information about it could be found on universities' websites).
Both undergraduate and graduate students may receive three types of responses from the university. The first one, “unconditional offer” means that you already reached all requirements and may be admitted to the university. The second one, “conditional offer” makes your admission possible if you fulfill some criteria – for example, have good grades on final exams. The third one, “unsuccessful application” means that you, unfortunately, could not be admitted to the university of you choice.
All universities require personal statement, which should include the reasons to study in the UK and the information about personal and professional goals of the student and a transcript, which includes grades received in high school or in the previous university.
