Here you will find the online application forms for the International Foundation Programme (IFP).
This is the 1+3 Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) option. It offers progression to the widest range of University of Reading courses.
We offer September and January start dates for the IFP, so there may be more than one application form link available.
Please select the online application form for the month and year you want to begin your studies:
1. If you are a new applicant, choose the ‘create an account’ option to enter your contact details and create an account.
2. Complete the online application form.
3. If you are unable to apply online, you can request a paper application form by telephoning +44 (0) 118 378 8372 or emailing ifpadmissions@reading.ac.uk.
4. If you receive an offer to study on the programme, then you need to accept this offer using your online account. If you have any questions about this, you can send a Whatsapp message to us on +44 (0) 748 350 3292.
5. You will then need to upload evidence that you meet the entry requirements . You will receive instructions about what you need to upload and how to do this.
6. Once your evidence has been accepted, you will need to pay a deposit to secure your place.
7. Within the next six months, you will receive a CAS. This is an electronic document with a 14-digit code that will enable you to apply for your student visa.
8. All the best. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus. Please get in touch if you need any support.
If you have any questions about applying for the International Foundation Programme, please book a virtual one-to-one meeting with a University of Reading representative, or email us at ifpadmissions@reading.ac.uk.
