Study Group is a leading international education provider specialising in pathway programmes and preparatory study for international students. The organisation works in partnership with well-established universities across the UK, Europe, Australia, and other key study destinations, offering structured routes that prepare students for successful progression to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Study Group programmes are designed to support students as they transition into higher education, with a strong focus on academic preparation, English language development, and understanding the expectations of university study. These pathways provide a clear and supportive route into degree programmes while helping students build confidence and essential study skills.
Pathway Programmes
Foundation Programme
Foundation programmes are designed for students aiming to progress to undergraduate study. They focus on developing core subject knowledge, academic study skills, and English language proficiency. Pathways are available in a range of subject areas such as Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences. Successful completion allows students to progress to the first year of a bachelor’s degree.
International Year One
The International Year One enables students to study the first year of a bachelor’s degree with additional academic and language support. On successful completion, students progress directly to the second year of their degree, offering a faster route compared to a foundation programme.
Pre-Master’s Programmes
Pre-Master’s programmes are designed for students preparing for postgraduate study. These programmes strengthen academic writing, research skills, critical thinking, and subject-specific knowledge, while also developing academic English to prepare students for master’s level study.
English Language Programmes
Study Group also offers academic English and English for university preparation programmes. These can be taken as standalone courses or alongside academic pathways to help students develop the language skills required for university study.
Study Areas
Study Group pathways lead to a wide range of degree subjects, including:
- Business, Management, Accounting, and Finance
- Engineering and Technology
- Computer Science and IT-related disciplines
- Life Sciences and Health-related subjects
- Social Sciences, Law, and Humanities
Availability of subjects depends on the partner university and study location.
Academic and Student Support
Study Group places strong emphasis on student support, offering small class sizes, regular academic feedback, and personalised guidance. Students benefit from dedicated academic staff, study skills workshops, language support, and wellbeing services. Additional support is often provided for accommodation, visa processes, and orientation to university life.
Progression and Outcomes
Successful completion of a Study Group pathway enables students to progress to their chosen partner university degree, subject to meeting academic and attendance requirements. With clear progression routes and comprehensive academic support, Study Group provides a reliable and structured pathway for international students to achieve their higher education goals.
