HOW CAN I STUDY AT WESTMINSTER?

16 17

YOUR ROUTE TO WESTMINSTER

At Kaplan, we can help you gain entry to a Westminster degree through a pathway course. We offer several pathway course options to undergraduate and postgraduate students.

WHAT IS A PATHWAY COURSE?If you have completed high school or university, but don’t qualify for entry to a university degree, you can gain a place through a pathway course. Here, you’ll improve your subject knowledge, academic skills and English language level, so that you’re ready for your university degree.

You will study at Kaplan International College (KIC) London, in the centre of the UK’s capital. You are guaranteed entry to the University of Westminster if you pass your course at the required level and with good attendance.

PATHWAY COURSES AT KIC LONDONFoundation CertificateTo qualify for entry to an undergraduate degree, take a Foundation Certificate. You will be fully prepared for university, and can progress to the 1st year of your undergraduate degree.

International Year One (IYO)If you’ve finished high school with good grades, you might qualify to study an IYO. This combines university preparation with content similar to that of undergraduate 1st year, allowing you to progress straight to the 2nd year of a Westminster degree.

Pre-Master’sIf you have at least 3 years of higher education or equivalent, but don’t quite qualify for entry to a postgraduate degree, your best option is a Pre-Master’s. This will bring your skills and knowledge up to the level needed to start a postgraduate degree at Westminster.
