Are foundation year admissions lenient?

I'm an IBDP student (graduating '26) interested in going for the international foundation year program in Leeds for a pathway to their BSc Computer Science program.

For specific context, I take Computer Science HL and Math Applications and Interpretations SL. Currently predicted a 31 IB score and I'm curious as to if I can possibly enter Leeds' foundation year (their minimum requirement is 26/45) without having to worry about being rejected.

Foundation Year Programmes are pretty lenient, I applied to four foundation years: Sheffield, Bristol, Warwick and Nottingham and got in pretty easily.

Maybe you could also check their requirements for progressing to BSc.

I have checked, my problem was that I wasn't sure if I'd be accepted or not.

International Foundations are generally flexible. But some may be strict for processing to uni degree course.
