What is the IFP?

The International Foundation Programme (IFP) is a full-time, one-year university preparation course, designed to prepare international students for degree-level study within the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.

This pre-university programme is carefully tailored to give international students the experience and skills required to succeed at undergraduate level and help build confidence with academic English.

About IFP Buddies

IFP Buddies is a Peer Support group for IFP students targeting their UCAS application to the university, picking their degree programme, and helping with answering any questions or providing any tips that the IFP students may feel reluctant to ask the faculty of the school they are applying to.

The IFP students (Buddies) will be matched with a current UG student (Leader) that is already studying the degree they are applying to.
