INTO Foundation programme

INTO Diploma programme
This is an advanced, one-academic-year course of study, which is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree. Successful completion of the INTO Diploma programme enables students to enter the second year of a relevant undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter, subject to achieving the specified grades for their chosen subject. If you are already in the first year of a relevant undergraduate degree in your home country, you may be able to use the INTO Diploma as a convenient entry method to UK higher education without having to complete a Foundation programme.

INTO Graduate Diploma programme
The Graduate Diploma programme prepares students for entry to a master’s course. It is for students who have completed a first degree or diploma but who have not achieved the necessary academic qualification for entry to a master’s degree; or for students who wish to study a subject at master's level but lack the required academic experience. Students who pass the Graduate Diploma programme at the appropriate level are guaranteed a place on a related master’s degree programme at the University of Exeter.
