Program Overview

As an international student, you might need, or benefit from, a pathway course before you start to a degree. A pathway course is often necessary because of different education systems of UK and your home country.

The International Year One is the equivalent to the first year of study for an undergraduate degree offered by INTO Group. During the program you'll improve your academic and undergraduate research skills, as well as building your English language abilities. When you finish the program you'll be ready to progress to Year 2 of your degree. This means that you can complete your degree in the same amount of time as direct entry students.

International Year One in Accounting is a 4-Terms program offered by INTO Group. It prepares students for entry into the second year of a professionally-accredited undergraduate Accounting degree at Queen's University Belfast.
