Accommodation is included in the program fee and is available from the program start date until the program end date. All rooms are double occupancy. If you require accommodation for extra days or would like to request a single-occupancy room, please contact us. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate any special requests, and each request will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Extra costs will be the responsibility of the individual applicant.
The University Placement Service (UPS) acts as a safety net, giving you peace of mind when studying with Kaplan. If you pass your degree preparation course, but don’t quite meet the required results to progress to your university of choice, you are still guaranteed a place at a UK university.
As one of the multi-pronged strategies for increasing international student enrolment, the university and Kaplan International have signed an agreement to expand international recruitment efforts.
Under the collaboration agreement, Kaplan will recruit and provide tailored support services for international students who will attend their first year of university as part of the U of A Foundation Program; this is a transition year program for students who do not yet meet the competitive entry criteria for direct admission to their desired program because of a specific deficiency (most commonly, missing a course not available in their home country). After completing a transition year in the program, students who meet admission criteria will progress to a U of A degree program in their second year.
Students in the foundation program will take U of A credit courses offered by U of A instructors, with Dr. Rebecca Nagel, associate dean in the Faculty of Arts, as the academic lead for the program. The first cohort of students recruited through Kaplan is expected to join the U of A in September 2024.
Kaplan has over 80 years of experience as an education leader with expertise in international education, an extensive recruitment network and a track record of operating successful foundation programs with comparator universities;
