The Bridging programme is run three times a year. The Bridging programme involves six weeks' focused study in subject areas that will help you prepare for the Pathway programme. Successful completion of a Bridging programme is valid for entry to the Pathway programme for 18 weeks from the completion of the course. Successful completion means that you have achieved a GPA of 6.5 and a C in Academic English. If you have a conditional offer of place for the Pathway programme, you must successfully complete a Bridging programme before starting the Pathway programme. If you have an unconditional offer of place for the Pathway programme, your attendance of a Bridging programme is optional but recommended.
