I'm looking for apply into LSE but i did undertand what is that
"We would not expect to consider students with these qualifications unless they were also taking A levels: had studied for at least one year in a university in their home country, had successfully completed a foundation programme in the UK, or, in some cases, obtained a first degree from a university in their home country. These candidates, too, may be asked to take our entrance examination."
what is a foundation programme?
