Foundation Courses

Foundation courses can prepare you for a variety of subjects, such as business, finance, and management; computing; law; art and design; engineering; social science; medicine; science and pharmacy; media; and the humanities.
Certain foundation providers have partnerships with universities and can guarantee progression to that institution if the student achieves high enough grades. Many programs will see the student based on campus, benefiting from full university status with complete access to libraries, equipment, and sporting facilities.

Foundation Course Requirements

A minimum IELTS score of 4.5 is required for international students wishing to study a foundation, with no single element less than 4.0.

  • Minimum IELTS score of 4.5 or equivalent
  • Higher Secondary School Certificate
  • Higher Secondary transcripts
  • Reference letter from your high school teacher
  • Personal statement

    Undergraduate Degrees

    Undergraduate applications to all UK, USA, or Canadian universities are managed by UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) and, as an official UCAS center, GIGS consultants can guide you through the entire university application process.

    How long do undergraduate degrees last?

    For a first degree, most students study a three-year undergraduate bachelor's degree, featuring a combination of seminars, workshops, and lectures made up of different modules. Certain modules are optional, and as such students can tailor their study to what they are most interested in.
    Some undergraduate degrees, such as science and engineering, can take up to four years to complete, whilst the introduction of fast-track 2-year degrees enables students to complete their undergraduate course and find a job much quicker

    Types of undergraduate degree

    In addition to the standard 3-year undergraduate degree, a joint or dual-honors undergraduate degree will see students split their time across two different courses, meaning a larger choice of modules and increased job options after they graduate.
    A sandwich course will last four years and involve spending one year at a work placement related to your field of study.

    Short undergraduate degrees

  • Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) – Lasts for one year full-time and two years part-time.
  • Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) – A 2-year full-time degree course.
  • Neither of the above fast-track degree options leads to postgraduate study, but students can move into an extended three-year degree if they change their minds.

    Masters Courses

    What is a Masters degree?

    A postgraduate or masters course in the UK, USA, or Canada follows the successful completion of an undergraduate degree, generally lasting for just one year compared to two-year masters programmes found elsewhere in the world. This means international students can save time and money and begin their careers much quicker with a highly regarded UK postgraduate degree.

    Why study for a Masters degree in the UK, USA, or Canada?

    The UK, USA, and Canada is home to some of the leading universities in the world, renowned for their quality of teaching and research. A UK, USA, or Canadian postgraduate degree is held in high esteem by employers, and for international students studying in the UK, USA, or Canada, it is a fantastic opportunity to improve your English and immerse yourself in a multicultural and exciting community of academics and students. You will:
  • Improve your career prospects
  • Gain an internationally recognised qualification
  • Earn more throughout your career because of the weight a UK, USA, or Canadian Masters carries
  • Be able to shape study around your schedule
  • A study carried out by the Higher Education Statistics Agency showed that 86 percent of students who completed a Postgraduate Masters in the UK, USA, or Canada were in full-time employment following graduation, compared to just 75 percent of undergraduate leavers.

    Types of Master's degree

  • Taught Masters
  • There are four main types of taught programs: Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Engineering (MEng), each lasting 1-2 years full-time.
    On a taught programme, students are expected to attend weekly seminars, tutorials, and lectures, much like an undergraduate degree, and assessment can be via exam, dissertation, or project.
  • Research Masters
  • A research degree will see students take more responsibility for their work and schedule, basing their study around a thesis while being supervised by an academic. The most popular research degree is a PhD, which can take 3–4 years to complete and consists of writing a thesis between 60,000 and 100,000 words, which is then presented in an oral examination.
    Other types of research degrees include the Master of Science (MSc), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Master of Research (MRes). These degrees are similar to a PhD but not as academically demanding, with papers being much shorter.
