Studying: UFP Business pathway
Applying to: Royal Holloway, Warwick,
Exeter, Surrey and Aston
The staff and facilities at London
FoundationCampus are great. The
Albanian education system is much
stricter, but here I can debate with my
teachers and the college gives me the
space to express my ideas and opinions.
We have access to the huge library at
Birkbeck, which is really helpful for my
academic area of Economics. I know
that I won’t improve myself only through
reading the standard textbooks, and the
resources in the library will help me to
achieve a better understanding of my
subject.
I think London FoundationCampus will
give me a springboard to the university
of my choice. I am not leaving England
without a master’s degree, preferably
from Cambridge or Oxford, but for now,
London is the place for me to be a
student.

43. A comprehensive study programme
• Comprehensive and intensive 25-hour per week combined academic and
English programme

Progressing to: MSc Financial
Engineering at Birkbeck, University of
London
London FoundationCampus is different
to other places I have studied. You
make progress throughout the course
rather than just at the end. I like the
study culture here and feel the course
is tailored to each student’s needs.
The Master’s Foundation Programme
has exceeded my expectations and
provides a well-structured business
course. The Personal Development
Programme module has also really
helped me with time management
and mind management, which I am
sure will be really useful skills when I
progress on to my Master’s at
Birkbeck. I also get the chance to join
lectures at the London School of
Economics; there are few places in the
world where students can get pure
tangible treasure from bright minds
but these lectures are a must for all.

45. Outstanding teaching
• Well-qualified teaching staff with a wealth of international experience
• Average class size of 15 means that teaching can be tailored to individual student
needs
• Personal tutor for every student and regular tutorial meetings to ensure
successful progress

London FoundationCampus is a great
place for people to develop
themselves. The teachers are friendly
and very passionate about their
subject, and the comfortable class
sizes benefit the students as the
teachers can give them individual
attention.
London FoundationCampus has a good
relationship with its University of
London college partners, which is
good for me as I have applied to two
of these universities. Queen Mary
came here to give a talk to us, and it
gave me inside information that other
students will not get. I already have
offers from four of the five universities
I applied to, including Queen Mary!

Studying: UFP Engineering
Applying for: BEng (Hons)
Engineering at Queen Mary
I’ve been at other institutions in
the UK and this is the best place
I’ve studied! I like that the
teachers have specific subjects to
teach rather than having teachers
that teach a number of different
subjects. I think there is a good
study environment and a good
mix of nationalities in the classes,
which forces us to speak English
and helps me to focus on my
pronunciation.
The Higher Education team have
been more than brilliant, they
helped me work through the
UCAS handbook and gave me
crucial feedback and good advice.
I am planning to progress on to
Queen Mary for my degree and I
am sure the preparation and
guidance I have received will
prove invaluable.

49. Life and support outside the classroom
• a comprehensive induction programme to help students settle into London life
• help to open a bank account, get an Oyster card (essential for travelling around the
capital on buses and the Underground, and register with the police if needed
• Student Ambassadors also help new students settle in to new life at London

• our team can also give you advice on transferring from another institution in the
UK and help in changing the student visa if required

students from a truly diverse mix of nations, with classmates from Asia, the Middle
East, Africa and South America.
• Enrichment programme including national holidays celebrations, cultural
awareness events, charity fundraising and international food and film clubs
organised by the Social Committee at London FoundationCampus

I really like London. It’s such a
cosmopolitan city and I want to stay here
in the future. The facilities at London
FoundationCampus are outstanding. We
have access to the Birkbeck library,
which gives me plenty of space to study
as well as a place to go during my spare
time. We can also use the University of
London Union and their fantastic sports
facilities!
I have been trained as a Student
Ambassador at London
FoundationCampus, which involves
helping new students to settle in London
when they first arrive and is great
experience. My teamwork skills have
really improved thanks to this and
through frequent group work during
English and the Personal Development

My English level has really improved
since I started studying at London
FoundationCampus. The teachers
are friendly and the group work we
do means we get lots of
opportunities to communicate in
lessons. After class, London
FoundationCampus organises lots of
social activities such as bowling and
historical trails and I am able to
make friends with students from
many different countries.
I have also made friends in my halls
of residence at Woodlands Court.
My flatmates are from Poland and
the UK and we cook and talk
together so I get to practice my
English outside the classroom as
well. I hope that with a better level
of English I can progress on to
Goldsmiths to study Media.
