Our Advanced Degree Entry Programme (ADEP) provides you with a fantastic opportunity to progress to a degree in one semester. With the guidance of our dedicated teachers, this foundation programme will bridge the gap between your school qualifications and the demands of a university.
The ADEP will help you to develop your subject knowledge whilst providing a firm foundation in IT, research and writing skills and academic English as well as allowing you to become familiar with our assessment and examination techniques.
