What it is	This is a one-year English and design foundation program for international students whose English skills need strengthening before entering architecture or design studies. You take intensive English classes alongside introductory courses in architecture, landscape design, and visual design to build both language ability and design thinking. It suits international students who have strong potential but need to reach the English proficiency standard the university requires for direct entry into degree programs.	An Arts degree at King's focuses on language, thought, and belief through subjects like English, French, Philosophy, and Theology. You study texts, ideas, and how people understand the world through writing, culture, and religion rather than science or professional training. This program suits students who enjoy reading, discussion, and deep thinking about meaning and expression.	Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
