Foundation courses run in Prague, Czech and Malvern, UK
The second option is a partnership with Charles University in Prague Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies. The curriculum is very similar to the Abbey College one, but is more suited to independent-minded individuals who want to gain a flavour of Prague itself before joining the main degree course.
As well as the academic tuition, students at both locations are offered optional trips to visit some of the Czech-based universities on a formal visit, where they can get a feel for the universities themselves before making their final choices.
Foundation Course Route
The Foundation courses are suitable for:
- Those students who have sat ‘A’ level examinations or equivalent and have not obtained 3 grade ‘C’s (September start) or 3 grade ‘B’s (January start).
- Those students who have trained at ‘A’ level or equivalent in a non-scientific background (we can advise on receipt of a C.V.).
- Those who have completed the first year of ‘A’ or ‘AS’ levels or equivalent in the area of science (1 year required); under some circumstances such students may wish to combine taking the Foundation course with taking the second year of A Levels, thereby giving increased options.
- Those who have failed the university entrance exams and require more knowledge to pass them.
- Those who are looking for a career change.
- If interested in the Foundation course, please ask for our separate brochure (Prague / UK) and application form (Prague / UK).

Student Profile Rakan Alotaibi
“When the results of my first year studying A Levels were lower than expected, I thought I had lost my chance of studying medicine at university. However, after successfully completing Abbey College’s Medical Foundation programme, I will now be studying medicine at one of the best universities in Europe.”
