Kaplan International Colleges

Kaplan International Colleges (KIC) is one of the largest pathway providers in the UK and more than 10,000 international students have succesfully progressed to UK universities after completion of one of the Foundation Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Pre-Masters programmes offered by one of the KIC colleges. All the KIC colleges are located on the campus of some top universities in the UK and all students are fully registered students at the university where the college is based and will be given access to all the facilities the university has to offer.

Guaranteed Progression to a Select Group of Top UK Universities

KIC students that succesfully complete the foundation or pre-masters courses are offered guaranteed admission to a course of their choice at the university where they've completed the KIC course. If, for whatever reason, students do not obtain the required entry level at the end of their foundatio or pre-masters course but at least obtain a general passmark we will guarantee and secure admission at a wide range of other UK universities. This is a unique feature of KIC and no wonder that so many students have chosen to study a KIC pathway over the years. The universities we work with include: The University of Sheffield, Cranfield University, The University of Glasgow, The University of Liverpool, City University London, University of Westminster and Nottingham Trent University. Students that study at one of these colleges are a fully-registered university students and have access to all the university facilities.

10 Good Reasons to Study at a KIC Pathway College

• Guaranteed admission to a leading UK university. Successfully complete one of the programmes at a KIC college and your place at the partner university is guaranteed, providing you have achieved the required level. If you do not meet the required level but obtain a general passmark we will guarantee and secure admission at a range of other UK universities.
• Fast-track entry into a world-class UK degree. The KIC college programmes have been designed to fast-track students straight into the partner university. For example, the Diploma programmes provide students with guaranteed entry directly into the second or even third year of a range of popular Bachelor degrees.
• Quality programmes guaranteed. All KIC programmes are created in partnership with the partner universities. Programmes are therefore tailored to make sure students study the subjects they will need to progress smoothly to their chosen university degree course and students can be confident of receiving a consistently high standard of teaching throughout.
• We can secure quick offers. Our application turnaround time is very quick and we can secure you an offer within 48 hours providing you meet the standard entry requirements.
• Small classes and comprehensive support services. Classes are limited to 25–30 students, so students quickly build up confidence and establish a rapport with their tutors and classmates. Every Kaplan International College has a dedicated Student Services team who provide support throughout students’ programmes, both academically and by organising socials, sporting events and visits around the UK.
• Access world-class teaching and learning facilities. Every KIC student is a fully registered student at the university where the college is based and as such will have access to the study, recreation and social facilities available at the partner university. This means that they can study in the library and computer laboratories and relax and work out in the sporting and leisure facilities right from their first day.
• Study in flexible programmes that encourage success. There is a choice of three start dates each year for academic programmes: September, January and May.
• Improve English language skills at the same time as academic studies. KIC programmes enable students to study English language alongside their academic subjects. This helps students to fast-track their entry into their chosen university so no time is lost.
• Joint admission and visa documents. KIC and the partner university will issue students with joint admissions documents so each student’s application for a student visa can indicate both institutions’ involvement in their study plans.
• Accommodation guaranteed and free airport meet and greet service. All students are offered a guaranteed place at university-style accommodation that is on or near to the partner university campus. We also meet students on arrival in the UK if they apply before a certain date, and then take them to their residence.
