International Year One

This programme is designed for international students who do not quite have the academic grades and/or English level to start the first year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Hull, but have a stronger profile than a UFP student.

All students who successfully complete the IY1 are guaranteed progression to Year 2 of a range of Business and Engineering undergraduate degrees at the University of Hull. This programme is set at level 4, and is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate business degree in the UK.

The duration of the programme is one academic year (nine months). On average, you will undertake 23 (and up to 28) hours of classroom-based study per week. Hours may vary depending on your academic and English level and may be adjusted throughout your course.

English Language forms up to six hours of your timetable, is compulsory for students who are below the required level for progression, and will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects as well as being taught separately if you need additional support. Students who are at or above the required English level for progression are likely to follow a reduced timetable.

Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to the classroom-based hours.

You will be assessed by a variety of methods during your time with us: the intention is that you have a chance to experience the full range of assessment methods that you might experience at university when you start the second year of your chosen degree.

Assessments will normally include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination, and unseen written examinations.
