IY1 Course Information

Introduction

In 2014, Oxbridge Academy was granted a license by NCUK to offer the NCUK International Year One programme. Initially, the institution commenced with the Business route and, after successfully delivering this program for three years, NCUK generously approved the addition of the Law Stream. The incorporation of the Law Stream held significant value due to its professional orientation, enabling the school to provide students with exceptional opportunities, such as firsthand exposure to court proceedings and interactions with distinguished legal professionals in society.

Thanks to its proven track record of delivering high-quality services, Oxbridge Academy achieved approval in 2022 to introduce the NCUK International Year One in Engineering with Computer Science route. This program enhances students' knowledge and skills in the field of Engineering and assures a seamless progression to the second year for studies in Computer Science and Cybersecurity, among other options.

Oxbridge Academy offers a promising pathway for Nigerian students to advance to the second year of degree programs in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia.

What is the International Year One?

The International Year One allows you to study the first year of an undergraduate degree at an NCUK Study Centre, locally or in the UK, and progress directly into Year 2 of a degree at university. The International Year One has five subject routes to choose from with progression options to 300+ degree courses across 26 leading universities in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

Who is it for?

Designed exclusively for international students, the International Year One will give you the confidence to study at an international university by equipping you with the English language and academic study skills needed to be successful at university.

As the International Year One is delivered by our Global Network of Study Centres, you can choose to start your university degree locally in your home country (or nearby), or at one of our Study Centres in the UK. The International Year One is a credit-bearing qualification equivalent to the first year of a university undergraduate degree and is trusted by universities worldwide.
