The University of London Foundation Programme is specifically designed to bridge the gap for students who wish to commence University of London undergraduate programmes from an Ordinary Level background, as well as for those who do not meet the minimum entry requirements from Advanced Level to enroll directly in any of the University of London programmes at RIC. This pathway provides the opportunity for students to complete their undergraduate studies faster than those coming with an A/L background. The comprehensive programme offers a solid academic foundation, equipping students with the essential skills and knowledge needed to succeed in higher education.

The UoL Foundation Programme, known as the International Foundation Programme (IFP), will be considered for competitive entry alongside other equivalent qualifications, such as Advanced Level and International Baccalaureate (IB).

All examinations are marked and verified by the University of London. Candidates who pass all four courses are awarded the University of London International Foundation Certificate with grades of ‘Pass,’ ‘Merit,’ or ‘Distinction.’
