This course is for a duration of 3 terms minimum and is based around the A Level style of learning. A levels are a way to assess university entry, so this course will provide international students with that same opportunity.
It is possible for those with a lower level to attend the course, however, they will need to join an extended foundation for 4-7 terms.
A-level quality. Fast track results.
The Advanced Level Foundation course is rigorous and demanding because it compresses a 2-year A-level into one intensive year. This course is for:
- Academically able international students who want to progress to a very good UK university.
- Students who have completed 11 to 12 years of school in their home country.
Programme content is tailored specifically to the needs of international — rather than UK — students.
A-level quality
The one-year Kings Advanced Level Foundation is based on A-level syllabuses, assessed against A-levels and taught by A-level teachers, many of whom hold a PhD or equivalent.
A-level subject flexibility
You don’t need to take subjects in set combinations. Just like A-levels, you can combine subjects in any way to suit your strengths and interests.
Exceptional university acceptance:
Top UK universities understand the quality of the Advanced Level Foundation and the students who successfully complete it. Universities accepting students from this programme include: - University of St Andrews
- Durham University
- London School of Economics and Political Science
- University of Warwick
- University of Leeds
- University of Exeter
- University of Bath
- University of Birmingham

Your ability to use the language is our shared goal and passion. Lessons are designed to help you express your ideas, feelings and knowledge - whether in order to pass an exam, find your dream job or to communicate your ideas to the world. The Kings classroom combines a focus on both fluency and accuracy. We understand that you need to practice what you have learnt, whether that be a new piece of grammar or a new set of vocabulary. New language is practised in a range of creative, imaginative and stimulating ways, all of which put you and your ability to communicate right at the centre of everything. In addition to learning and using new language, the Kings classroom also supports and promotes cultural, academic and personal development. Classes discuss world events, culture and those aspects of life which are of greatest importance to all our lives. We take time to listen to each other, to question our own understandings of the world around us and to celebrate, in English, the life-changing experience of learning together."”
