A supported start to university

By studying your first year with KUIC, you will enjoy a softer landing to the UK. Alongside other like-minded international students, you will receive an introduction to university-level study and learn essential knowledge and skills for your chosen subject.

 

Teaching

Your KUIC programme will be delivered in small classes, allowing for plenty of contact time with your tutors. Depending on your subject, you may also be taught in laboratory/workshop sessions. During classes, you will be encouraged to discuss the topics with your tutors and classmates to develop your understanding.

 

Independent learning

Studying at university is different from studying at school because you are expected to learn independently, outside of your classes, through self-study. At KUIC, we will help you familiarise with this method, so that when you progress to Keele University, you will be fully prepared. Your independent learning will be supported by access to Keele University’s modern facilities.

 

Academic Mentors

You will assigned to a KUIC tutor who will act as your academic mentor throughout the academic year. One-to-one meeting slots will be available weekly, where your mentor will provide academic support, advice and guidance. You can also receive support with any wellbeing issues you want to raise.
