Some of the programmes are designed to prepare you for specific Goldsmiths' degrees, whilst others may lead into a number of different areas.
If you complete the pathway at the required level (a pass in all modules with an overall score of 50% or more), you will be awarded an International Foundation Certificate and guaranteed a place on the relevant Goldsmiths' degree programme.
You should consider an International Foundation Certificate (IFC) Pathway if:
- Your high school qualifications do not meet the required academic standard for undergraduate study
- You wish to take an undergraduate degree in a subject that is different from your prior study
- You need to improve your study skills and use of academic English
There are six IFCs to choose from:
