The programme also supports international students in adapting to the UK higher education environment and understanding university teaching and assessment methods. Structured academic support enables students to build confidence and prepare for progression to their chosen degree. After successfully completing the International Year Zero and meeting the required progression conditions, students can continue to the BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy degree.
