Our International Year One courses help you make the step from your Foundation or high school studies to your chosen degree programme, which you will join in the second year.

All our International Year One courses lead to Manchester Metropolitan University degrees. You will automatically progress to the degree course if you pass all required modules.

Your visa will cover the entire period of study, so there is no need to reapply after you have completed year one.

Standard year one versus integrated year one

There are two types of International Year One courses available to you.

• In our standard courses, you will attend college classes taught by our lecturers, and upon completion, if you pass all required modules will move on to your chosen university degree second year.
• In our integrated courses, you will apply through the International College. Once accepted, you will start your first year of university just like any other student on your chosen degree. You will attend the same lectures, seminars, and tutorials as your course peers, studying the same subjects. But to make sure you have the best chance of success, you will also get extra academic and language support from the college.

International Year One in Humanities and Social Sciences

The International Year One in Humanities and Social Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University is designed to help you start your degree with confidence. Through our International College, you will complete your first-year university modules while receiving additional tailored support. You will also take a college module to strengthen your academic and technical skills, ensuring a smooth transition into UK university life.

With expert guidance and access to cutting-edge engineering facilities, you will be fully prepared to progress into the second year of your engineering degree.

Leading to : Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Film and Media Studies

Film and media studies focuses on the in-depth exploration of both cinematic and media forms, from the established to the new and emergent, from TV to games.

Taught by a large team with a diverse range of interests, you’ll have access to cutting-edge research expertise and excellent resources in a department as dedicated to supporting students as it is to inspiring them.

Film modules introduce you to the history of cinema and its many forms and genres. This course will broaden your horizons from Anglo-American film to world cinemas, and develop your skills as a critical interpreter of the cinematic text. Media modules explore the development of media industries, forms and criticism, but focus particularly on current and emerging platforms and industries. In your final year you can explore your interests in depth by completing an independent project on a topic of your own choice, working with academics who are experts in their fields.

The creative industries sector in Manchester offers a broad range of opportunities in professions linked to film and media. The city is an excellent place to study this subject and to begin gaining experience and building your networks. We’ll help you to be ready for the world beyond university by giving you the opportunity to engage with external partners by working on live briefs on our Media industry module.

You may have the chance to study abroad as part of your course, or to spend a year on a placement in industry in Britain or abroad.*
