Focus of Study :
A Foundation is a period of study which bridges the gap between your High School studies and the Year 1 entry point of your chosen degree at SRH University. Foundations are perfect if you need an extra layer of study and support.
All the international Foundation programmes covered in this section lead onto one of SRH University’s degrees and progression is automatic if you have passed all required modules. You will select your progression degree at the point of application.
SRH International College offers three foundation programmes:
Business
A two semester Foundation programme leading into a range of internationally-focused undergraduate business degree at university.
Creative Studies
A two semester Foundation programme focused on the production of large-scale, creative projects in order to successfully develop the analytical, creative and interpersonal skills needed for further study.
Engineering & IT
A two semester programme that creates a broad understanding of both theoretical and practical concepts in computer science, programming and engineering.
