Foundation Courses in the UK

What is a Foundation course?

📌If you are a Nigerian student finishing your high school exams, have completed less than 13 years of education and would like to take your first degree in the UK, you will need to study a foundation course at a UK university or college. A foundation is a one-year preparation course for Nigerian students who need additional English language and academic preparation for entry onto a UK university undergraduate course.

📌Foundation programmes are for school-leavers who have studied a non-British curriculum but wish to pursue a degree at a UK university. The foundation course acts as a bridge between your current qualifications and UK university undergraduate entry requirements and is designed to plug academic gaps, improve your English and familiarise you with UK life and culture in preparation for university.

📌Foundation Courses
Foundation courses can prepare you for a variety of subjects such as: Business, Finance & Management; Computing; Law; Art and Design; Engineering; Social Science; Medicine; Science and Pharmacy; Media; and Humanities.

📍Certain foundation providers have partnerships with universities and can guarantee progression to that institution if the student achieves high enough grades. Many programmes will see the student based on campus, benefitting from full university status with complete access to libraries, equipment and sporting facilities.

📍Foundation Course Requirements
A minimum& IELTS score of 4.5 is required for international students wishing to study a foundation, with no single element less than 4.0. If you have no formal English qualifications, you may need to attend an English language course or college prior to starting your foundation course. Documents and entry requirements needed are:

📍Minimum IELTS score of 4.5 or equivalent
Higher Secondary School Certificate
Higher Secondary transcripts
Reference letter from your high school teacher
Personal statement
Scanned copy of passport and visa
If you need to improve your English, IELTS preparation courses are available for all levels and abilities. Sign up for a free IELTS practice test and improve your score in reading, writing, speaking and listening.

The A to Z of working in Canada as an international student

1. Before graduation

Students can choose to work on-campus, off-campus, or opt for a co-op or internship placement. They’re competitive, but if you can land one, they bring great insight into what the professional world is like.

On Oct. 7, 2022, Canadian Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced that international students can now work more than 20 hours per week, CIC News reported.

This temporary measure ending Dec. 31, 2023 allows students to work more than 20 hours per week off campus during the semester if:

You are a study permit holder and are studying at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) full-time (or part-time during your final academic session) OR
Have been approved for a study permit but haven’t arrived in Canada yet
During scheduled breaks such as winter and summer holidays in the school year, students are allowed to work full-time.

You are also free to work overtime or work two part-time jobs that add up to a higher than usual number of hours.

On that note, there is no set number of hours per week that counts as “full-time” work.

If you get a part-time job on campus, you don’t need a work permit (as long as you’re enrolled in the uni).

Here are five of the best off-campus jobs for international students:

Server or bartender (Average 13 per hour)
Sales assistant (Average CA$14 per hour)
Barista (Average CA$14 per hour)
Dog walker (Average CA$15 per hour)
Tutor (Average CA$16 per hour)
Remember that only full-time students both before and after the break are allowed to work full-time. You can’t work during a break that comes before you start your very first school semester.

2. After graduation

To stay and work in Canada once you’ve graduated, you’ll need to apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) if you have graduated from a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada.

The PGWP allows you to temporarily stay in Canada to work, but to apply for a Canadian work permit, you will first need to meet certain criteria to work in Canada.

You were holder of a valid study permit at the time of the PGWP application
You were a full-time student enrolled at a DLI in a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training programme
You were authorised to work off-campus without a work permit
You did not exceed the allowable hours of work
You can apply for a PGWP from inside Canada or from another country, as long as you’re eligible. You have up to 180 days (around six months) to apply for a PGWP after you get your:

Degree or diploma
Transcript
Official letter from your school
If your study permit expires before you get your marks, you will have two options:

Apply for a visitor record to stay in Canada longer
Leave Canada and apply for your PGWP
The processing time will take approximately 141 days for online and 19 days for offline applications. Do note that processing times will vary, based on:

The type of application submitted
Volume of applications received
How easily they can verify information
How well and how quickly you respond to any requests or concerns
Whether the application is complete
