INTO Diploma: your direct route to a university degree in the UK

Diplomas at INTO

INTO UEA London student

If you are an international student who has already completed A-levels or an International Foundation programme in the UK but have obtained results that do not allow you to enter the first year of a degree at your chosen university, the Diploma programme is perfect for you. Equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree, successful completion of the Diploma programme offers guaranteed entry to the second year (or third year at INTO Scotland) of a relevant degree programme at a leading UK university, allowing you to still complete your studies and obtain your degree in just three years.

Your degree options upon successful completion of the INTO Diploma

Successful completion of the Diploma programme, subject to obtaining the specified grades for entry, offers guaranteed progression to the second year of a relevant university degree at a number of our partner universities. The table below provides an overview of some of the most popular subject areas that you can progress to from the Diploma programme. Please refer to the relevant 'University pathways 2010-2011' brochure for a full list of degree programmes and progression grades.
