Foundation Programmes Research

There are currently over 1,000 foundation of pathways programmes around the world, and their existence and growth is mostly due to the rise in international mobility over the past decade. Why have these programmes become so popular over the past years, and why are universities introducing them at a larger scale?

Our main goal will be to explore the main benefits and challenges universities have when setting up pathway programmes, which will be addressed by StudyPortals and Cambridge English who conducted the first global research into this growing higher education phenomenon. The webinar will take place online on 23 June 2016.

During this free webinar, we will explore the current distribution of foundation and pathway programmes, and uncover:

  • What are pathway programmes?
  • What subjects appeal to students?
  • What are the entry requirements and how do they differ per region?
  • How much do the programmes cost?
  • Who are the main providers?
  • What are the main benefits for universities starting pathways or foundation programmes?
  • What are the main challenges in setting up these programmes?
  • What is next? What are the future trends?

We have two great presenters, Rob Jansen from StudyPortals and Nicola Johnson from Cambridge English. To accommodate a wide range of time zones, we are running the same webinar at two different time slots: once in the morning (10:00 Amsterdam | 16:00 Beijing) and once in the afternoon (16:00 Amsterdam | 10:00 New York).

If you can’t join live but still want to have the slides, you can still register and receive the webinar recording. However, you would miss out on the chance to interact with our presenters and ask any burning questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there!
