ifps began in 1983 as the Scottish International Foundation Programme (SIFP). In 2003 the SIFP became the International Foundation Programme Scotland (ifps). The mission to service all Scottish universities remains but has been broadened to include placement in universities in England and Ireland

With more than 20 years’ experience in delivering foundation programmes, ifps has continued to build on a proven, successful route to undergraduate degree study.

Since 1983, more than 2000 international students have successfully been placed in a wide range of university courses including Science, Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Accountancy, Finance and Business.
