Finally, preparing for studying abroad is simplified with the guidance of Brive's specialized study advisors, ensuring that the candidate has the best chances for being selected in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs abroad.

Foundation is a period of two semesters before starting the main program of a bachelor's degree and is mainly for those who do not meet all the admission criteria for a program.

Foundation Year or Year 0 is ideal for students who wish to study in universities abroad, where English is not the main language, since they will be taught in the language of the courses.
In addition, this year you will acquire an overview of the study field you have chosen. Immediately after, you will be ready for direct admission to Year 1 of your studies with a solid foundation.

Finally, keep in mind that a preparatory year does not require many hours of studying/attending, thus leaving you free time and more room to adjust to a new country. It also introduces you to the respective educational system, while at the same time immersing you in the corresponding language and teaching methods.

Talk to a Brive consultant about doing a Foundation Year and put their experience to your advantage with a free consultation session.

Application dates vary depending on the country and educational institution of your choice! For example, for admission to English universities, the first deadline for submitting an application at undergraduate level is mid-January (15/1).

However, you can apply later, up to the summer period (clearing), if there are still open positions in the program of your interest.

Aiming at your success, we make sure to provide you with the appropriate information and study consulting, in order for you to always complete all the procedures for submitting your application within the respective deadlines. Express your interest in time to receive all the information you need in detail!

Most universities abroad have private residences (dorms) for their students. The candidates who reach in time to the university they wish to study and meet the admission criteria, can also proceed with their residence application

Alternatively, if the candidate does not get a place in the university dormitory in time, he has the option of a private dormitory or an apartment. Student residences abroad usually offer 9-month contracts, covering the relevant bills.

On the contrary, apartments offer 12-month contracts and usually require the student to take on the responsibility of paying bills etc.

Keep in mind that most universities prioritize housing for first-year students to ensure socializing and safety. At Brive, we provide you with guidance on applying for accommodation in a student residence, while at the same time we help you find an apartment if you wish.
