1716
YOUR ROUTE TO UWE BRISTOL
With Kaplan, there are many ways to gain entry to UWE Bristol. Whether you need a
pathway course or qualify for direct admission, we have an option that’s right for you.
І What is a pathway course?
If you have completed high school or university,
but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for a
UWE Bristol undergraduate or postgraduate degree,
you can still gain a place through a pathway course.
This will give you the skills and knowledge you
need to progress to your degree at UWE Bristol.
You’re guaranteed entry if you pass at the required
level with good attendance.*
І On-campus pathway courses
Foundation Certificate
To qualify for entry to an undergraduate degree at
UWE Bristol, you can take a Foundation Certificate.
You’ll be fully prepared for your studies, and can
progress to the 1st year of your degree.
International Year One (IYO)
If you’ve finished high school with good grades,
you might qualify to study an IYO. This combines
university preparation with content similar to that
of undergraduate 1st year, allowing you to progress
directly to the 2nd year of your degree.
Pre-Master’s
If you already have 3 years of higher education
or equivalent from your home country, but don’t
quite qualify for entry to a postgraduate degree,
a Pre-Master’s is ideal. This will bring your skills
up to the level needed for entry to a UWE Bristol
postgraduate degree.
* This guarantee applies only to our Foundation Certificate, International Year One and Pre-Master's courses. For the Pre-Doctorate, you are guaranteed an interview for a doctoral degree at UWE Bristol if your research topic matches the University's priority areas.
І Off-campus pathway course
Pre-Doctorate
If you already have a degree, and wish to study a
UWE Bristol doctoral degree, you can prepare with
a Pre-Doctorate at Kaplan's International College
in London. The course helps you to navigate the
process of applying for UK doctoral degree, and to
best present yourself and your research ideas to
universities at doctoral level.
І Direct degree admission
If you already qualify for a degree at UWE Bristol,
you can apply for direct admission through
Kaplan. This has many advantages, and provides
you with an expert support system as your
application to the University progresses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
І How much does it cost to study at the College?
Studying in the UK is a big financial investment, so you need
to plan ahead. You must have at least £1,015 for each month
of your pathway course, up to a maximum of nine months,
as well as funds to cover any unpaid tuition fees. This money
must be held in a recognised bank account for at least 28 days
before you apply for your Tier 4 (General) student visa. See the
guide on the next page for more information on costs.
І What supporting documents do I need to provide?
For your application to be complete, you need to send us a
few extra documents, including:
• copies of your passport and any previous UK visas.
• IELTS certificate (UKVI Academic).
• academic transcripts (plus certified translations if the
originals aren't in English).
You can still apply without these items, and submit them later.
І How long does the application process take?
If your study application is complete and successful, once our
Admissions team receives it, they will issue an offer within one
working day. The duration of the process that follows can vary,
so it's good to apply at least a few months in advance. This will
allow you enough time to prepare your student visa application,
reserve your accommodation and get ready for your trip.
І Do I need insurance during my course?
You’ll need to be fully covered by student insurance for all of
your pathway course. We can offer you a comprehensive policy
in partnership with Endsleigh, a leading insurance provider.

І Are scholarships available?
Partial tuition fee scholarships for pathway courses and degrees
are offered to students who get good grades. Learn more at:
www.kaplanpathways.com/how-to-apply/scholarships
І Do I need a guardian during my studies?
If you are under 18 years old, you’ll need a legal guardian in
the UK until you reach 18; something we can help arrange.
