International University Foundation Programme (IUFP)
The International University Foundation Programme (IUFP) is a one year full-time pre-degree course, which offers students a fast track alternative to GCE A levels and an entry route to prestigious Universities for degree courses.
The programme is aimed at international students seeking admittance into Universities after one year of study as well as students based in the United Kingdom. At the moment, students successfully completing the IUFP can progress to degree courses at Universities that have signed Progression Agreements with London College of Business and Law (LCBL) or indicated through formal correspondence that they will consider IUFP applicants for admission to undertake specific courses, or in other cases have informally recognised the IUFP by agreeing to consider applicants on a case-by-case basis.
