Progression Route
Your Seamless Pathway from Foundation to Master’s
At IQF, every qualification is designed with clear academic progression — allowing learners to advance smoothly from foundation level to postgraduate achievement. Our structured pathways connect each stage of study with real university opportunities and professional recognition.
From Foundation to Undergraduate
Start Strong. Progress with Confidence.
Begin your journey with the IQF Foundation Year (Level 3) — equivalent to UK A Levels — and progress directly into Undergraduate Year 1 in Business, IT, Medicine, Nursing, or related disciplines.
Gain essential academic and English skills that prepare you for university success from day one.


From Extended Diploma to Final Year
Earn Your UK Degree Faster.
The IQF Level 5 Extended Diploma is equivalent to Year 1 and Year 2 of a UK bachelor’s degree. Upon completion, learners can enter Undergraduate Year 3 (Top-Up) at one of our university partners in the UK or abroad.
This fast-track route saves time, reduces cost, and leads directly to an internationally recognised degree.
