University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD), has partnered with NCUK, a leading pathway qualification provider, to offer students the opportunity to complete an internationally recognised foundation course in Dubai before progressing to a top-ranked University in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the USA. <br>The International Foundation Year (IFY) gives students access to over 4,000 degrees through 45 leading universities across 13 countries. This qualification is designed to prepare you for first-year entry to a bachelor’s degree. One of the many benefits offered by the International Foundation Year is that students who do not have the scores for direct entry into a bachelor degree in the UK, Australia, or USA, among other destinations, can study at UOWD for one year before studying abroad at one of the NCUK universities.
