On 14th September 2022 Stefan Green, our Marketing and Partnerships Director, hosted an open day to explain and answer questions about IFG’s courses and study locations. He started by explaining that IFG is an international pre-university pathway provider, which means that IFG delivers the courses that international students need to take before they can successfully apply for university study in the UK and Australia. In fact, the company’s mission is to help students fulfil their academic dreams by providing pathways to university level study and beyond.
IFG has campuses in central London and also Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The London campus is 5 minutes-walk from Bond Street underground (subway) station and our Abu Dhabi campus is in a brand-new building in an area well known for coffee bars and restaurants. IFG also has a worldwide network of partner teaching centres so that students in Nigeria, Ghana, Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Mongolia & Russia can study for an IFG qualification in their own country.
IFG main offer is a suite of 9-month University Foundation Programmes - Business Management, Social Sciences (including Law), Engineering, Computer Science and Medical. The programmes are recognised by IFG partner universities as equivalent to UK ‘A’ Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) and so meet the entry requirement for direct entry to undergraduate (bachelor) study. They, therefore, offer a direct route to university in the UK and Australia for International students who have completed 11 or 12 years of education in their own country.
There are many international education companies offering pathway programmes but what makes IFG stand out is the one-to-one support that they give to students when they are choosing where and what they want to study after completing their IFG pathway programme. IFG has a wide range of university partners offering a variety of degree level courses and making the right choice is one of the most important decisions that international students will make in their life. It is therefore especially important to IFG that students are given all the support they need to make the right choice. Also, IFG recognises that international students want to improve their academic English and study skills while preparing for university and that is why IFG programmes have embedded English language development modules. These modules help develop language skills as well as prepare students for the style of teaching & learning they will encounter at university.
Stefan concluded the open day by giving an overview of IFG pre-masters and other courses and pre-PhD offers and was available for any questions.
