What is an International Year One course?

Our International Year One courses help you make the step from your Foundation or high school studies to your chosen degree programme, which you will join in the second year.

All our International Year One courses lead to Manchester Metropolitan University degrees. You will automatically progress to the degree course if you pass all required modules.

Your visa will cover the entire period of study, so there is no need to reapply after you have completed year one.

Standard year one versus integrated year one

There are two types of International Year One courses available to you. 

  • In our standard courses, you will attend college classes taught by our lecturers, and upon completion, if you pass all required modules will move on to your chosen university degree second year. 
  • In our integrated courses, you will apply through the International College. Once accepted, you will start your first year of university just like any other student on your chosen degree. You will attend the same lectures, seminars, and tutorials as your course peers, studying the same subjects. But to make sure you have the best chance of success, you will also get extra academic and language support from the college.
