University Foundation Offers

St Clare’s University Foundation students regularly receive offers from highly-competitive universities. We work closely with students to find the course and university that meets their career aspirations. About half of our foundation students choose courses at European universities where they can continue their academic studies in English.

Many foundation programmes prepare students for further study at specific universities. We work holistically to ensure the Careers and Higher Education support suits the needs of the student. With over 60 years’ experience teaching students from around the world, our quality University Pathway provision puts the student first, and supports them to find university opportunities. This is not limited to the UK, it extends to Europe and beyond.
