International Foundation Programme

The International Foundation Programme (IFP) is delivered by the University of Bristol to prepare international students for a degree programme at the University through tailored English language units and academic subject units.

You can find more information through Kaplan International Pathways, our trusted education partner for applications and admissions to the International Foundation Programme.

Undergraduate entry requirements

You can apply for undergraduate courses through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Find out more from UCAS about applying to university in the UK. The UCAS institution code for the University of Bristol is BRISL B78.

Entry requirements vary for each course. Please check our undergraduate course listings for details of specific requirements.

Applicants will need to meet the English language requirements for their chosen course. Different courses need different levels of language skills, referred to as ‘profiles’. The required profile will be shown on the course page. Find out more about our English language profiles.

• Applicants with the Apolytirion of Geniko Lykeio programme (grades 19 and above, depending on particular subject entry requirements) will be considered for admission to our Bachelor degree programmes.
• Students must be following a pathway that is appropriate for their chosen degree programme.
• Our requirements for individual subjects range from 20.0-17.0. Our entry requirements might differ depending on whether an applicant has studied additional A-levels alongside their Apolytirion. Without additional A-levels, our equivalent to AAA in A-levels is an overall score of 19.2.
• Please note native language A Levels will be considered on an equal basis with other subjects. 
• The University of Bristol is aware that there may be some regulatory changes to the Greek education system. In the case that there are any changes to Panhellenic examinations or other education system changes which may impact on our applicants, the University will react appropriately and inform affected offer-holders. 
• Currently students can satisfy any subject specific requirements with either Panhellenic examinations or Pathway subjects, and while Panhellenic examinations remain detached from the Apolytirio in their current structure, we do not plan to change this.
