King's College London

The King’s International Foundation Programme offers four pathways and 17 different module combinations for you to choose from.

Each module combination is designed to help you progress to a specific subject area or undergraduate degree at King’s, so you must carefully research and choose your modules. Some degrees will have subject-specific requirements, so, for example, if a degree requires maths at A-level, then it will require a maths module in the foundation.

Our Foundation Finder will help you identify the right pathway for you. However, some pathways have subject requirements and you will need to meet these requirements in your high school diploma or equivalent to be eligible to apply for it.
