International Year Zero

The International Year Zero (IYZ) is designed to help you gain extra English Language skills and develop your subject knowledge to an undergraduate level.

Start your journey here

The International Year Zero is the first year of the four year undergraduate course. IYZ is designed to help you gain extra skills in your subject area, as well as English Language, before you continue to year one of your chosen University undergraduate degree course.

Following successful completion of the IYZ, you will continue onto Year One of your degree directly with the University of your choice.
