This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the Leeds Beckett University International Study Centre. After completing the pathway, students will progress into a program at Leeds Beckett University. In an international foundation year students will study courses related to their intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance their skills as a student. Advancement into their intended program depends upon successful completion of the pathway program.

This International Foundation Year provides the subject knowledge in sciences and mathematics, as well as the English language skills necessary for success in an undergraduate program at Leeds Beckett University. Once a student completes this course they will be suitable for progression options in areas such as computing, biomedical sciences and civil engineering.

After completing this pathway, students will transition to the BA Childhood Studies  program. On this course, you will gain a whole-child perspective, from pre-birth to early adulthood.

You will experience professional project work through innovative, child-focused placements, such as working with a children's charity, educational organisation, national company, a children's business or in a relevant community setting. You will develop a deep understanding of influences upon children and social rights issues, giving you the platform required to enter a career involving children, from teaching through to community development work.
