Thanks for confirming that we're talking about Edinburgh's
International Foundation Programme. Many universities in the UK offer degree courses for which there is a "with foundation year" variant with lower entry requirements. For example, Queen Mary - one of the universities you mention above - offers a three-year "Business Management" course and a four-year "Business Management with Integrated Foundation Year" course. I was trying to ensure we
weren't talking about one of those as it impacts the answer to your second question.
So, your question is whether KCL, UCL, Queen Mary or LSE will accept students based upon them having completed Edinburgh's International Foundation Programme.
KCL might, but they might not. What they say
here (under the Foundation Year Programmes heading) is, "Foundation programmes from other universities and further education providers in the UK are considered on a case-by-case basis. Whether or not we can consider a particular foundation year as suitable for study at King's depends on the content of the syllabus and modules studied. In the past we have accepted foundation courses from a number of other institutions." (Note that they also say, "We are unable to accept Foundation programmes that are integrated as part of a main degree at another institution. These may be called Year 0 or Integrated Foundations." - which is why I was trying to understand what your "a foundation year" phrase actually referred to.)
UCL don't say anything specifically about accepting students who have completed an international foundation programme elsewhere, as far as I can tell.
Queen Mary say at the foot of
this page that, "we are able to consider a wide range of external international foundation programmes for undergraduate entry" and on
this page they provide some example of such programmes. They don't list the one offered by Edinburgh, but suggest that you contact
[email protected] for further information.
LSE say
here (in the Foundation Courses and Access to Higher Education Diploma section) that, "We consider applications from students who are able to complete a foundation course, however not all foundation courses are acceptable for all degree programmes. In previous years we have received applications from students studying the foundation courses at institutions such as the University of London International programme, University College London, Kings College London and the University of Warwick. LSE will only consider International Foundation Programmes delivered by UK institutions."
What I would point out is that most of the above universities have international foundation programmes of their own, and that if your ultimate objective is to attend one of these universities (rather than staying at Edinburgh) then it would make more sense to apply to
their international foundation programmes, rather than Edinburgh's. See:
