The King’s International Foundation Programme is organised into four subject pathways: Health, Life & Biosciences; STEM & Natural Sciences; Politics, Culture & Social Sciences; and Business & Economics.

Each pathway prepares you for undergraduate degrees in that subject area at King’s. Within your chosen pathway, you will select a module combination that meets the requirements of the degree you want to study after the programme.

To find the right option, use the Foundation Finder on our homepage. Simply type in the undergraduate degree you are interested in, and the tool will show you the recommended module combination(s) for that degree.

Some pathways have subject requirements that must be met through your high school diploma or equivalent. Choose carefully, as pathways and modules cannot be changed after the programme begins.
