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.

If you still have questions about studying with Kaplan, let us try to answer them below. Alternatively, you can contact us for more information. You’ll find contact details on page 54.

HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED TO STUDY A PATHWAY COURSE?Studying in the UK is a big life investment, so you need to plan ahead. You must have at least £1,265 for each month of your pathway course, up to a maximum of 9 months, plus funds to cover any unpaid tuition fees. The money must be in a recognised bank account for at least 28 days before you apply for your Tier 4 (General) student visa. See the table below for more information on costs.

HOW LONG DOES THE APPLICATION PROCESS TAKE?If your application is complete and successful, once our Admissions team receives it, they will issue a study offer within 1 working day.

This prospectus has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of publishing, but changes (for example to course content) are likely to occur given the interval between publishing and commencement of the course. It is therefore very important to check the website or contact us for any updates before you apply. Once you have applied, any change which impacts the terms and conditions of your offer or a significant part of your programme will be communicated to you. Published February 2018.
