Pathway courses at University of Brighton International College

If you have students that don't meet direct entry requirements to our courses, the University of Brighton International College (UBIC) is a trusted pathway provider. UBIC deliver tailored degree preparation courses for international students looking to progress to a degree at the University of Brighton.

Programmes include:

+ Foundation certificate

+ Pre-masters

+ International Year One (with fast-track progression to the second year of select degrees in business and architecture)

Degree preparation courses allow students to learn key subject knowledge and develop their language skills to university-study level. Scholarships are available for entry on to the pathway programme, as well as for progression on to the degree.

There may still be time for students to begin their academic journey in March 2026, to progress to a University of Brighton degree programme this September. There are also summer 2026 and autumn 2026 intakes available.
