What is INTO?

INTO is investing more than anyone to improve the quality of the international student experience in the UK. We want students coming here from across the globe to have a fantastic introduction to both the UK and to UK universities.

INTO is a unique, sector-leading initiative for international students, offering new and higher quality standards of preparation for undergraduate and postgraduate study in the UK.

INTO Centres combine the powerful resources of leading British universities with major, independent investment in learning and accommodation facilities. The result is the highest level of support for international students from highly qualified teams of teaching and support staff.

INTO Centres offer students excellent educational environments with fast, effective and assured progression into university degree courses. INTO students are part of the university itself, studying and living  in exceptional university-standard facilities.

There are now five INTO Centres: INTO University of East Anglia, INTO University of Exeter, INTO Newcastle University, INTO Manchester (for the Foundation programme, in partnership with The University of Manchester) and INTO Scotland at Glasgow Caledonian University, with even more announcements planned in 2008. INTO partner universities are responsible for setting INTO's high academic standards and all academic course validation.
