— FOUR STAGES

How it works after N-Levels.

01 5–8 months

Start at Level 3 Foundation

The L3 International Foundation Diploma (L3IFDHES) builds your academic foundation so you can study at the L4 Diploma level. Entry requires an N-Level certificate, with bridging support if you have fewer than 3 passes.

02 ~ 1 year

Progress to Level 4 Diploma

Choose Computing (L4DC) or Business (L4DB) — equivalent to the first year of a UK undergraduate degree.

03 ~ 1 year

Continue to Level 5 Diploma

Add a specialism — Cyber Security, Data Science, Software Engineering, or Business with Marketing.

04 1 year

Top up to a UK bachelor's degree

A final year at one of our UK university partners — Lancashire, Greater Manchester, or Greenwich.

— WHY THIS ROUTE

A faster, more flexible path than the polytechnic detour.

No need to repeat O-Levels

This L3 Foundation accepts N-Level students directly. You stay on track to a degree, not stuck at the start line.

A globally recognised credential

Your final degree is awarded by a UK university — recognized by employers and postgraduate programmes worldwide.

Pay only for what you study

Module pricing means you can start small and continue as you're ready, not locked into four-year upfronts.
