INTO University Partnerships Launches INTO Qualifications to Elevate Global Higher Education Pathways

INTO University Partnerships (INTO) today announces the launch of INTO Qualifications, a new awarding organisation offering internationally recognised qualifications designed to enhance academic preparation and progression for international students entering undergraduate programmes.

INTO Qualifications will initially offer a Level 3 Award in Foundation Studies, with subject pathways including Science and Engineering, and Business and Humanities.

Why INTO Qualifications Matters

• Bridging Learning Gaps: Tackles common challenges faced by international students through targeted academic and study skills development.
• Enhancing Employability: Includes soft skills modules and career-focused micro-credentials to support real-world readiness.
• Globally Recognised Standards: A recent independent review by Ecctis confirms the INTO International Foundation Programme matches the academic level and rigor of UK A Levels and US Advanced Placement (AP) courses. It develops the same kind of knowledge and skills and uses similar assessments. This reassures students and institutions alike of the programme’s global credibility.

Programme Highlights

• Flexible and Personalised Delivery: Available on-campus and in-market, tailored to meet individual student needs.
• UK Universities: Qualifications are credit-bearing and recognised by leading UK institutions including INTO’s UK university partners.
• US Universities: Students who meet the entry requirements are eligible for admission to INTO’s university partners, and may be eligible for transfer credit.

Setting a New Standard in Pathway Education

“INTO Qualifications takes our mission a step further, offering credentials that prepare students not only for academic success, but for life and career,” said John Sykes, CEO of INTO. “Our approach combines rigorous academic frameworks with the agility, accessibility, and data intelligence that INTO has pioneered in international admissions and protected student success.”

Enrolment and Availability

From September 2025, INTO Qualifications awards will be introduced at select INTO in-market centres, with pilot programmes launching in the UK.
