Break-out areas are a hub of activity and a great place to relax with friends Classes are small, ensuring you get more personalised support from your teachers

I I hadnt gone to INTO Manchester, I wouldnt have got into Cambridge, that is or sure. On

my own I would not have achieved it as I wouldnt have had the support o my teachers

and the necessary background knowledge. Cambridge is quite unique. You really have to

show them that you stand out rom the crowd. The key to this is condence and having the

attitude that you have nothing to lose. You also have to prioritise your workload and breaking

it into small manageable portions can help. That it the key to success!

You must arrive in Manchester on the weekend

before the first day of your course or on the

relevant arrival date on page 78. You should

inform the INTO Admissions Office of your date of

arrival and travel arrangements at least seven days

prior to your arrival in the UK, so that we can advise

either the Residential Tutors, or your host family,

of when to expect you.

Tavelling to Mancheste

If you are arriving in the UK for the first time,

we strongly recommend that you fly directly to

Manchester or pickup a connecting flight at one

of the other international airports that have direct

links with Manchester, such as Amsterdam, Dubai

and Paris. These routes are preferable, as you

will avoid transferring through London with the

additional travel time.

For students arriving at Manchester International

Airport, we offer an airport pickup service from the

airport to your accommodation, at an additional

charge. If you want to make use of this service you

will need to provide the INTO Admissions Office

with your full flight details in advance of your arrival

date. Full details of the pickup service are provided

with your confirmation documents.

If you are under 18 when you arrive this service

is compulsory, unless your parents can provide

evidence to our Admissions Office that a suitable

arrangement has been made for your collection

from Manchester International Airport at which

you arrive into the UK. This compulsory service also

applies when you are departing the UK. You will

need to provide the Student Services team with

your full flight details in advance of your arrival

or departure date.

Parents are also required to complete a medical

information form. Relevant forms will be sent

to parents and the student with confirmation

documents. No student will be accepted at the

Centre without completing and returning these

forms before the start of the course.

The Centre also recommends that parents

appoint a UK-based guardian for international

students under 18. If your parents are making their

own arrangements for guardianship services, or

for a friend or family member to act as a guardian,

evidence of these arrangements must be supplied

before the course starts. A copy of our policy on

younger students is available on request.

activities, which are a great way to meet new

friends and explore the city of Manchester.

o-gg upp

Social activity pogamme

While the main reason for coming to Manchester

is to study, involvement in non-academic activities

is also important to help you adjust to life in the

UK and develop a network of friends. The city of

Manchester offers a wide variety of options for

socialising, experiencing the arts or taking part

in sports. We also organise a regular programme

of activities designed to help you make the most

of your time in the UK. The programme includes

trips to places of interest in Manchester and other

parts of the UK, as well as visits to the theatre

and cinema.

Full day excursions cost between 1540 per

person, depending on the activity. Other social

programme activities are charged at variable rates

ranging from free to 25 per person.

24-hou suppot

The Centre is dedicated to ensuring that you

feel totally safe and supported. Upon arrival, all

students are issued with an emergency telephone

number which can be used to contact Centre staff

outside of office hours in the unlikely event of an

emergency or urgent situation. Within the halls

of residence, 24-hour support is provided by our

Residential tutors.

Centre has an additional obligation to report to the

UK Border Agency (UKBA) any changes that may

affect the terms of an international students visa,

including an international students absence from

Suppot o students with disabilities

A confidential service for students is available

offering advice and information on a range of

disabilities including dyslexia, sensory impairments,

Key eaue

Academic content

The International Foundation programme provides

subject-specific modules that relate to the

academic content of your chosen undergraduate

degree programme. Individual degree programmes

sometimes also stipulate specific modules that you

must study before progression.

Around two-thirds of the programme is devoted

to academic modules specific to your chosen

pathway. Full details of the various academic

modules appear on page 38.

English language suppot

All students will complete a course in English for

Academic Purposes. The number of credits taken

will depend on your initial level of English, and the

level required for your chosen degree programme.

Study skills

An essential preparation for university, the Study

Skills module will help you work in groups, present

ideas, manage your time, conduct research, make

lecture notes, organise the content of essays and

dissertations, and understand how to evaluate your

own work.


A lot more sel-study was required

at INTO Manchester but whenever

you had a problem you could ask

the teachers and they would

answer you directly. They went

out o their way even with things

that werent about your studies.

For example, when I wanted

to apply or a scholarship my

teacher really helped me with the

application orms and wrote

a reerence or me.

The International Foundation programme offers

direct entry to the first year of over 2,500

undergraduate degrees at a wide range of leading

UK universities, including degrees in popularareas such as accounting and finance, business,

computing, economics, finance, international

relations, law, logistics, management, mathematics,

media, product design, psychology, science and

most branches of engineering.

During my Foundation programme

I studied Maths, Politics and

Economics. I think the basics were

covered well during my time at

INTO Manchester. Even the basics

o Excel we learned are now

coming in quite handy.

Without the basics, my Economics

lecturers at the University wouldnt

really make sense. Without the

help o INTO Manchester I probably

wouldnt have done so well. The

teachers did a good job!
