The IFP is an excellent pathway for students aiming to pursue their undergraduate degrees at the university. It provides essential academic skills, language enhancement, and familiarisation with university life, making the transition smoother. Students benefit from a structured curriculum tailored to meet international standards and prepare for the specific requirements of their chosen undergraduate programmes.

The IFP covers a broad range of subjects including Accounting, Agriculture, Ancient History, Anthropology, Archaeology, Art, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Business and Management, Climate Science, Computer Science, Ecology, Economics, Education, Engineering, English Language and Applied Linguistics, English Literature, Environment, Food, Geography, German, Graphic Communication and Design, Healthcare, History, International Development, International Relations, Law, Linguistics, Management, Marketing, Mathematics, Medical Sciences, Microbiology, Nutrition, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Philosophy, Politics and International Relations, Psychology, Sociology, Speech and Language Therapy, Surveying and Construction, Teaching, Theatre & Performance, Wildlife Conservation, and Zoology. The programme helps students specialise or deepen their understanding in their chosen fields before progressing to undergraduate studies.

The IFP serves as a preparatory course, and successful completion of the programme is typically required for entry into undergraduate degrees offered by the university. Specific entry criteria may vary depending on the course and subject of interest.

While the IFP itself is a preparatory course, it opens doors to a wide range of undergraduate degrees that can lead to diverse career opportunities. Graduates can move into careers related to their chosen fields such as management, environmental sciences, healthcare, law, engineering, and many more, depending on their subsequent undergraduate study.
