Foundation Success

ELA's Foundation Success programme helps students to upgrade their English language skills to the standard required for entry to a UK university foundation programme.

 

Each core unit of ELA's Foundation Success programme focuses on developing the skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing in academic contexts. A major part of the programme is the focus on IELTS test preparation. All students who want to study at a UK univerity need to take the IELTS test.

 

ELA will help you to find a place on a Foundation Programme at a college or university in the UK. College foundation programmes will have cost advantages with a year's tuition costs between £5000 and £6000. The university foundation programmes will cost from £10000 a year. When students complete their foundation programmes successfully and achieve the required marks, they will have an opportunity to get a place at the 2nd year at a UK uinversity.

ELA can offer you guidance on applying to Further Education colleges in Edinburgh as well as other UK colleges.
