IFY

Leading the way in Laos: The first British college offering direct pathways to top global universities.

  • ABOUT NCUK
  • NCUK delivers high-quality pathway programmes that prepare international students for entry into leading universities worldwide, providing global access to higher education and the support needed for success at university and beyond.

  • Why Do Most International Students Choose a Foundation Programme Like NCUK IFY?
  • ✅ Bridge the Gap in Education Systems: Most students around the world finish school after 12 years, while UK universities require 13 years. It’s the case for Lao Mor 7.
  • ✅ A level / IB: If your A-level or IB results don’t meet direct university entry, the IFY gives you another opportunity to qualify for top universities—without losing a full academic year.

    At St Hugh’s College, we proudly offer the NCUK International Foundation Year, giving students in Laos the opportunity to gain a globally recognised qualification and direct access to world-class undergraduate programmes abroad.

NCUK is a provider of high-quality qualifications, which offer a pathway to leading universities for students worldwide. We are dedicated to giving international students access to universities worldwide and helping them succeed when they get there. This NCUK’s International Foundation Year is the University Foundation course that prepares you to study at leading universities in UK, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada.

The NCUK International Foundation Year is a modular programme that will prepare you for first-year entry to undergraduate degree courses. Developed with our university partners, the NCUK International Foundation Year provides you with a pathway to study and gain your Bachelor’s degree in the following countries:
