"The School of History at Queen Mary has benefited hugely from the International Foundation Programme. We have taken a number of excellent students from the programme, who have really benefited from the rigorous preparation it provides for a university degree. The students combine great enthusiasm for the course with good writing skills, analytical flair and an impressive breadth of interests. Having spent a year in Queen Mary already, they can really hit the ground running in their degree. IFP students have flourished in the School of History and we are proud to have them in our department."
