Pathway programmes for international students
The University of Sheffield International College provides dedicated programmes that prepare international students for the challenges of academic life. We are focused on helping students with English as a second language and different educational backgrounds go to the world-class University of Sheffield.
You will be learning with students from all over the world, studying a range of modules that have been developed in collaboration with the University. These will include specialist subject matter, English language, and study and career skills – everything you need to succeed.
Choose the undergraduate or postgraduate preparation programme and then select the relevant subject for you. Once you complete the programme and achieve the required grades, you can enter your chosen degree at the University of Sheffield.
How do university preparation programmes work?
Our pathway programmes help you make the transition between study in your home country and a degree at a UK university. At the International College, you will be able to begin your academic journey in a supportive and welcoming environment under the support of expert teachers. After choosing a programme which best matches your degree and career ambitions, you'll spend time developing your subject knowledge and English language skills in order to progress to your chosen degree programme at university.
