This is the University of Reading BA Politics and International Relations with International Foundation Year for international students. If students want to study politics at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, this four-year BA Politics and International Relations with International Foundation Year programme enables them to undertake an undergraduate politics and international relations degree.

Students will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto the three-year BA Politics and International Relations degree. This means students can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of their studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip students with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Reading's high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
