  • Meet the Entry Requirements

    To start, ensure you meet the basic entry requirements for the International Year One programme. Typically, you need to have completed your Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or an equivalent qualification. The exact requirements may vary depending on the subject and the university you wish to apply to, so it’s important to check these details early on.

  • Submit Academic Transcripts

    Once you meet the educational prerequisites, gather your academic transcripts. These documents serve as proof of your previous studies and will be used to assess your eligibility for the International Year One programme. Ensure your transcripts are up-to-date and reflect your performance in key subjects.

  • Provide Proof of English Proficiency

    Since the International Year One is taught in English, you will need to demonstrate your proficiency in the language. This is typically done through standardised tests such as IELTS or TOEFL. The required scores may differ based on the course and university, so be sure to check the specific requirements for the programme you’re interested in.

  • Document the Incidents

    In addition to your academic transcripts and proof of English proficiency, you may need to submit other documents, such as a personal statement or recommendation letters. These documents provide further insight into your academic interests and career goals, helping the admissions team assess your fit for the programme.

  • Application Review and Eligibility Assessment

    After submitting all required documents, your application will be reviewed by NCUK and the study centre. This process involves assessing your academic qualifications and ensuring they meet the standards needed for the International Year One programme. If your application is successful, you will be notified of your eligibility.

  • Begin the Programme at an Accredited Study Centre

    Once your eligibility is confirmed, you can begin the International Year One programme at an accredited study centre in Bangladesh. The course typically lasts one year and is designed to prepare you for the second year of your chosen undergraduate degree abroad. During this time, you’ll receive academic training, support, and guidance to ensure a smooth transition to international university education.

  • Progress Directly to the Second Year of University

    Upon successful completion of the International Year One programme, you will meet all the academic requirements for entry into the second year of a university abroad. This streamlined pathway helps you save time and cost compared to traditional A-levels or other preparatory courses.
