ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú

The Foundation course is specifically designed for your chosen degree courses so will be a great preparation for your ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú chosen course. The Foundation is taught in the University Learning Centre, on campus with ICP.

Choosing to pursue higher education can feel like a daunting decision - with a lot of things to consider and think about.

By choosing to study at a pathway college like ICP students are given a chance to explore their area of interest and gain a better understanding of the expected academic requirements of University. The opportunity to go directly into a degree using the pathway- allows students to feel confident in their decision and reduces uncertainty of the next steps. ICP provides students with the confidence to feel prepared and ready for University in a caring environment where wellbeing is a priority.

ICP students benefit from small class sizes which allow for focused approaches in knowledge and skill development and support within the classroom as we prepare them for larger classes in the future.

We emphasise the importance of excellent attendance which is monitored on a weekly basis to instill the value of engagement and participation in lecturers in order to succeed academically. The ICP curriculum is mapped to the learning outcomes of the ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú.  We work closely with each Faculty to ensure students are prepared for their next stage in knowledge and skill development to support student success and experience.

Support available to students:

• College Services Team: ICP Students have their own student support services called the College Services team. The team work together with students, staff and the University to ensure that all ICP student’s academic and personal needs are met. Based at ICP Reception, students can reach out to a member of the team 8:30am-5pm every day, or through e-mail or by calling. This dedicated team supports students throughout their journey from registration until progression to the University.
