Study Art and Design at MMUIC Webinar

Are you a Year 12 student in the Philippines dreaming of a world-class creative or technical career in the United Kingdom? Your direct route to a UK degree begins this year.

Join Manchester Metropolitan University International College (MMUIC) and Navitas for an exclusive webinar tailored for Filipino students aiming for the September 2026 intake. Discover how the International Year One (IYO) programme allows you to fast-track your studies, bypassing traditional entry barriers while providing elite academic support right in the heart of Manchester.

What is the International Year One (IYO)?

The International Year One is a specialised pathway programme designed specifically for international high school graduates. It combines the full curriculum of the first year of a UK Bachelor’s degree with intensive academic and English language support.

Instead of adding an extra foundation year to your studies, the IYO counts as your first year. Upon successful completion, you will progress directly into Year 2 of your chosen degree at Manchester Metropolitan University.
