Why study a pathway programme?
Develop your subject knowledge
No matter what you're passionate about, our pathway programmes are a great way to develop your knowledge. With us you'll learn from expert teachers who want to share their knowledge with you, make friends who are interested in the same things as you, and learn the terminology and academic language necessary to study your chosen subject in English.
Support and guidance every step of the way
Teachers and staff at the International Study Centre are here to help you settle in to UK life and the British education system. As well as helping you adjust to studying in the UK, our staff are also here to help you get accustomed to life outside of the University, with helpful tips and advice on making the most of your time in England. You will also have the added benefit of starting your pathway programme (and subsequent degree) with people who are in the same situation as you – so you will have your own support system both inside and outside the classroom.
Expand your academic skills
Outside of developing your subject-specific knowledge, your pathway programme will also give you the opportunity to develop your academic skills in other areas. From time management to organisational skills, to critical thinking and research abilities, completing a pathway programme helps you to become an employable university graduate.
