Pathway providers and language schools

Foundation, pre-master and A-level providers, and the English language schools GESCO works with.

Not every partner on our list is a university. Forty-two of them prepare a student for one, or teach the English that has to come first.

These are the organisations we work with for foundation and pre-master’s years, A-levels, and English courses. A pathway year is the route when the grades or the English are not quite there yet; a language school is the route when the English is the whole job.

If you are not sure which one you need, that is a normal question and it takes one conversation to answer. Bring your transcript and your English test result, if you have taken one.
