International Year Two
What is the International Year Two?
Complete your degree in three years
The International Year Two pathway allows you to jumpstart your career by completing your foundation course and undergraduate degree in three years, if you have already achieved a higher level of academic achievement in your home country. The programme is designed to support international students who perform above the level required for entry to the Undergraduate Foundation Programme.
You will spend the first year at the International Study Centre, developing your English language skills and studying subject-specific modules, before completing the final two years of your degree at the University of Aberdeen. 90% of students who completed the International Year Two at Aberdeen International Study Centre were offered progression to a degree course at the University of Aberdeen in 2023.

The teachers were really nice, to the extent that I was also taken through extra remedial classes, whereby they made sure that I was able to catch up. They helped me stabilise and get myself prepared because they became more like another family, away from home."
