Every class has specialist teachers and there are several different types of class. There is a lecture, which may have up to 60 students, and smaller seminars, which will have closer to 20 students. The seminars give students the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the material studied during the lecture. This helps us to understand the topics covered to a greater extent and work on any points of weakness. It also provides a more comprehensive understanding of the course. Mohammed Salemeh, Jordan International Foundation in Business, Humanities and Social Sciences
The International Foundation programme offers students the perfect blend of support and independence. The programme offers prospective students the opportunity to properly adjust to the UK academic style.

London is a huge city, with opportunities to try lots of new things. I think the most important thing for new students is to not be shy. Dont think its not for me before trying something. Go out and socialise but dont group with friends that are from your country. I promise if you do this you will learn so much more.
