We are happy to report the official launch of IFG Ghana was held on 18th August 2025 at the British Council, Accra.  Over 70 influential stakeholders, including government official, education leaders and agents attended the event, which was organised by Mr. Sammy Crabbe, CEO of IFG Ghana.  Guest speakers included Prof. Mohammed Al-Ansari (Executive Director, IFG Head Office, London), Mr. Nii Doodo Doodo (British Council Country Director), Mr. Tamir Ismail (UK DBT) and Mrs. Jo Ann Sackey (UK DBT).

Delegates were told how students are now able to study for an International Foundation Group (IFG) Foundation or pre-masters programme at several locations across Accra before progression to undergraduate or postgraduate degree in the UK. They also learnt about the role of Transnational Education (TNE) in skills development, the value of public-private partnerships, student scholarships and the potential of Ghana as a regional education hub.

The event was a great success and positions IFG Ghana as a credible international educational partner who can address the local skills gap and promote youth mobility to students in Ghana.

The establishment of IFG Ghana also demonstrates our commitment to TNE and our continued mission to bring pre-university pathway programmes to students in their own country.  Full details of IFG programmes offered  at IFG Ghana can be found at IFG Programmes in Accra, Ghana

This summer we were happy to welcome a group of Iraqi students and teachers to our London campus for a short summer English course.   The course was organised by Almasar Alarabi, who are responsible for delivering IFG Programmes in Iraq and their partner Al-Bayan University in Baghdad.  The course focused on the  English skills that would help the students with their future career or potential study in an English-speaking country with a focus on medical English.

The group also had time to visit two London based universities, the University of East London (UEL), Dockland Campus and Brunel University in Uxbridge.  This gave them an insight into university life in the UK and the facilities at two of IFG university progression options that our students can choose after their Foundation Programme.

A crucial step in every IFG student’s university application is deciding which UK university they want to progress to after their Foundation Programme and what they want to study. Therefore IFG offer extensive support and guidance and one-to-one advice on university options to all students, wherever they are studying.

One-to-one meetings are face-to-face for IFG London students, but for others it is online with our Academic Director, Michael Addison, who is based in London. So recently all IFG Abu Dhabi met online with Michael for a one-to-one discussion on their university and course options and the best choices for their future career. At the end of the session students received recommendations based on their preferred courses, university location, career aspirations and university clubs and societies. Plus importantly details of accommodation and living costs in the UK.

After discussing their options with their parents, students will be ready to make their final choices and continue on their path to undergraduate study in the UK.

Our Director of Marketing & Partnerships, Stefan Green, recently attended the SGU FAM trip to Grenada in the Caribbean to learn more about the Medical school and life on campus and in Grenada. The FAM trip focussed on admissions requirements, accommodation, student facilities, security & safety as well as a demonstration of the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in the classroom. Participants also toured the Anatomy Laboratory and Clinical Exam Rooms to see how students learn the practical side of medicine. The FAM trip finished with a tour of the island to visit shops and other facilities available for students who choose to study medicine at SGU. All IFG Medical Foundation students who choose St. Georges Medical will spend at least one of their 5 years at the main campus in Grenada but do have the option of studying 2 years at their campus at Northumbria University in Newcastle as well.

IFG would like to thank everyone at SGU for an excellent, once in a lifetime FAM trip which will help IFG advise our Medical Foundation students of the exciting opportunities at SGU.

Writing a Personal Statement and uploading it to your UCAS application is the second important step towards undergraduate study at university in the UK.

A Personal Statement is a 2,000 to 4,000 character essay that is the students’ opportunity to tell universities about themselves and why they should be offered a place. IFG Abu Dhabi students received a detailed presentation by their Study Skills lecturer, where they learnt the purpose of a Personal Statement, its structure, what to include and what to leave out. They also learnt what plagiarism is and were given guidance on how to avoid it. These students have now started writing the first drafts of their Personal Statements.

While transitioning from school life to university life, each student at IFG Abu Dhabi is assigned a student mentor – an experienced student who successfully finished their Foundation Year at IFG.

Student mentors aid with the difficulties new students face during their Foundation; the assistance and support they receive covers all areas of academic life: doing coursework, time management, meeting deadlines, preparing for presentations and projects as well as studying for exams. Student mentors also support the wellbeing of new students and give them advice on how to manage stress.

After all, who’s better at guiding you than someone who’s travelled the path you aspire to follow?!
