What Our Students Think About Us.

“I learned how to properly deal with problems with a positive attitude in a critical way. All these experiences have not only enabled me to meet my goal of achieving an offer from my dream university, but also truly opened my mind to the real essence of art.”

“The University Foundation Programme taught me how to move between alternative options and concentrate on my chosen topic without having fear. I received constant support from the tutors and having frequent tutorials helped me keep my motivation up.”

I’ve found the University Foundation Programme to be an enriching and convenient way for international students to prepare for university.

“I really appreciate the incredibly supportive atmosphere at the University Foundation Programme, especially during the UCAS application process. I’m glad I received this support while I was making such important decisions about my future.”

“I received a lot of one to one attention from my tutors and was greatly supported and encouraged throughout the course.”

The one-year pathway to university is incredibly valuable. It helped me improve my English language skills and, most importantly, bridge the knowledge gap between high school and university. I felt fully prepared to start my university journey.

My experience at UFP was truly top-tier. The close-knit nature of the administration meant I had direct communication lines with both teachers and faculty members, making it incredibly easy to address doubts and concerns quickly. I always had the option for one-on-one time with my teachers and counselors, which provided invaluable clarity whenever I needed it.

I had heard fantastic feedback about UFP from friends who studied there and went on to top universities in London—and my own experience exceeded expectations. The quality of education at UFP is exceptional. Learning from outstanding teachers with deep expertise in both teaching and their professional fields had a major impact on my academic journey.

I chose UFP for its unique pathway to UK universities and strong focus on student success. The diverse courses, one-on-one time with experienced instructors, and supportive community made it an ideal environment for growth. As an international student, I found UFP to be the perfect fit.

I chose UFP at David Game College for its strong academic reputation and high university placement success. The rigorous curriculum, experienced faculty, and supportive environment provided the personalized guidance I needed. Being in central London added a rich cultural dimension to my learning.

The student support at UFP was exceptional—available throughout the day and always ready to help. I received both academic and emotional guidance during challenging times, which made a real difference in my experience. Their understanding of student needs was truly impressive.

I chose UFP for its strong track record of university placements, especially in pharmacy, and its one-year pathway that keeps pace with A-Level and IB programs. The central London location, inclusive environment, and thoughtful amenities—like halal food and prayer rooms—made me feel welcomed and supported as an international student.

The tutors at UFP were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to our success. Their one-on-one support and constant feedback helped me grow academically. They were always approachable, making my learning experience both enriching and enjoyable.

It’s amazing that in just one year at UFP, you can achieve the same level of preparation as A-Level students and compete for places at top UK universities like the University of Edinburgh.

UFP is one of the best foundation programs for securing a direct path to top universities. Its central London location offers great convenience, and the diverse community and range of extracurricular activities make the experience even more rewarding.

Our teachers were highly qualified specialists who were both knowledgeable and supportive. They made complex concepts easy to understand, and their passion for teaching motivated me to work harder and aim higher.

Coming from a different education system, applying to top UK universities felt overwhelming—until I discovered UFP. It allowed me to complete the equivalent of two years of A-Levels in just one year, making it the ideal pathway for starting my university journey in the UK.

What stood out to me about UFP was the flexibility of the pathway—it allowed me to apply to multiple majors, from engineering to computer science. This versatility gave me the freedom to explore and keep my options open.
