Our People
A foundation programme or foundation course is designed to prepare secondary school graduates adequately to be able to gain admission to a Bachelor’s or undergraduate degree programme at an international university.
The TAG international Foundation programme establishes a pathway for students wishing to gain seamless entry into undergraduate programmes at the Lancaster University Ghana Campus (LUG), Lancaster University campus in the United Kingdom or any other international university.
Students who excel academically have the opportunity to be placed on the Provost’s List, a prestigious award recognised by prospective employers.
Our 1 year Foundation programme is a requirement for WASSCE, SSCE, GBCE, NECO and equivalent graduates, provided they have the accepted grades. Some students applying with GCE ‘O’ Level /GCSE/IGCSE, IB, French Baccalaureate and OIB results may be required to take the Foundation Programme prior to undergraduate studies as well. Speak to our Admissions Team to find out if you meet our admission requirements, and to find out our language requirements.
You must be at least 17 years old and must also meet the applicable academic requirement for the results you are applying with. A list of detailed requirements is on the right side of this page.

The Foundation Programme offers three pathways into undergraduate studies:
All Foundation pathways include units that focus on theoretical and practical content useful and relevant to chosen undergraduate studies at the university.
We integrate theoretical learning with a practical application while trying to make learning as fun and as interactive as possible. In the process, students learn how to think critically in everything they do – be it in academic research and writing, in debating, or when honing their presentation skills.
