If you do not qualify for direct entry to City courses, another route to studying with us may be available to you through taking a preparatory course. Provided you pass this course, meeting the agreed progression requirements you are guaranteed a place on a specific degree at City St George’s.
Preparatory courses are available either through City's own foundation courses or through international preparatory courses delivered by our partners institutions.
Foundation courses at City
If you are a UK student looking for a route onto an undergraduate course at City you could apply for a place on one of our foundation courses. Applications should be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
Details of fees, course content and progression options are set out on the course pages.
International preparatory programmes
If you are an international student you could take an international preparatory course with one of our two partners. These courses are specifically designed for international students who do not meet our required academic and English language requirements for direct entry. They provide routes into both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at City.
