Why apply for the international foundation programme? * full university status * a quality assured university programme * a campus based programme with access to university facilities * a conditional offer of a place on the first year of a relevant undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter * guaranteed university placement for all successful students * professional support and guidance with university applications * multiple start dates * the highest levels of personal care and support You will be assessed in each module.
