FOUNDATION PROGRAMME<br />

To study for a third-level course at an English-speaking university or college, you<br />

need to prepare for academic life and meet the requirements for entry to<br />

undergraduate or postgraduate courses.<br />

The Foundation Programme provides comprehensive and stimulating English<br />

language training and develops the skills which enable you to successfully<br />

complete third-level studies. Our counsellors advise you on your academic<br />

needs, suitable degree courses and help you with the application and<br />

interview process. During the foundation programme, you can take the<br />

internationally recognised IELTS examination required to gain entry to the<br />

third-level course of your choice.<br />

Cork Language Centre International cooperates with many third-level<br />

institutions including University College Cork, Cork Institute of<br />

Technology and Waterford Institute of Technology.<br />

At the end of the course, you have a high level of communication<br />

skills and cultural knowledge, which allows you to integrate fully into<br />

college life. The friendships you make and the cultural experiences<br />

you enjoy are an integral part of the programme.<br />
