Higher Education Foundation Programme (HEFP)
	Warwick also offers the HEFP, a one-year intensive access course especially designed for international students whose qualifications do not equip them for direct entry to UK universities. It has an excellent record for preparing students for full degree programmes in Business Studies, Science and Engineering, Social Science and Law at a wide variety of top UK universities. The HEFP is taught in colleges near the University of Warwick and students are provided with accommodation nearby.   Vivek Shah The HEFP at the University of Warwick was my stepping stoneto the university in the United Kingdom. It is a very structured course designed for students from overseas to help them to join a top ranking university. The course is taught by university tutors who are specially qualified and individually assit each student from settling in to making sure they get into the university of their choice . The foundation course provides a great bridge socially and academically between school life and university. It was an important year for myself full of memorable experiances that helped me settle into a new country . It is how a year lost : looking back I can see how it has given me a competative advantage over other students who have just joined university for the first time. I would recommend it to anyone contemplating a degree in the UK. Vivek is pursuing a Bsc accounting & Finance degree at the University of Warwick   Full details of the HEFP are available at www.warwick.ac.uk/info/hefp
