With the rising demand for international education, Bangladeshi students often face high tuition fees and living costs when studying abroad. However, the NCUK Study Centre in Bangladesh provides an affordable pathway to a globally recognised qualification, making quality education accessible to all.
NCUK empowers students to pursue their academic dreams without overwhelming financial burdens.
A cost-effective pathway to global universities
The NCUK and its study centres all over the world offer three key pathway programmes that ensure students have access to world-class universities and support for every stage of their academic journey.
International Foundation Year (IFY)
The NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY) is a pre-university programme to secure a place at a top international university while bridgeing your academic gaps. This 9-month course equips students with essential academic skills, language proficiency, and the confidence needed to excel in a global setting.
Graduates of the IFY are guaranteed progression to over 50 leading universities across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and beyond. As a shorter, more affordable alternative to A-Levels or IB, the IFY offers a cost-effective and efficient pathway to world-class education.
International Year One (IY1)
The International Year One programme is structured for students who want to complete the first year of their undergraduate degree locally in just 6 months and then transfer directly into the second year of a degree programme abroad.
This qualification saves time and costs as you can study the initial year in Bangladesh and NCUK guarantees a smooth transition to universities in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand. IY1 offers the same quality of education and personalised support to help students succeed academically and socially in a global university environment.
Master’s Preparation
For those who are aiming to pursue postgraduate studies abroad, the Master’s Preparation programme helps to meet the academic and language requirements needed to excel in a master’s degree. This programme strengthens research, academic writing, and critical thinking skills. By completing this programme, you’ll be fully prepared to excel in your master’s degree at top global institutions.
Study from home and save even more
One of the biggest advantages of enrolling at the NCUK Study Centre is the option to study in Bangladesh, cutting extra expenses like travel, accommodation, and additional tuition fees typically associated with studying abroad. This option reduces costs and also allows students to stay close to their families.
Accelerated progression, faster graduation
The NCUK IFY has an accelerated timeline, allowing students to complete the programme in just 9 months compared to the usual 2-year A-level track. This saves both time and money, enabling students to transition to university sooner and enter the workforce earlier.
Comprehensive student support services
NCUK provides extensive support to students throughout their academic journey, including:
- Assistance with university applications
- Guidance on writing effective personal statements
- Advice on course selection and career pathways
This personalised support increases students’ chances of successful university placements, offering services that agencies typically charge a premium for.
For Bangladeshi students seeking affordable international education, the NCUK Study Centre provides an outstanding opportunity. With cost-effective programmes, dedicated support, and guaranteed university placements, NCUK is committed to making higher education accessible for all.
