Shortlisted for Prestigious NCUK Excellence in Student Experience Award

Posted: 22nd December 2025

We are proud to announce that Myddelton College has been shortlisted for the NCUK Excellence in Student Experience Award – UK, Europe and Rest of the World.

This prestigious shortlist recognises NCUK centres that go above and beyond in delivering an exceptional academic and pastoral experience for international students — and we are delighted that our partnership with NCUK has been acknowledged on a global stage.

What This Shortlisting Means

Being shortlisted for this award reflects the quality of teaching, personalised support, and student-centred approachthat underpin life at Myddelton College. From small class sizes and expert academic guidance to outstanding pastoral care, our focus is always on helping students thrive — academically, socially and personally.

It is also a testament to the strength of our collaboration with NCUK, a global organisation trusted by universities worldwide to prepare students for success in higher education.

The NCUK International Foundation Year at Myddelton College

At the heart of this recognition is the NCUK International Foundation Year, a one-year pre-university programme designed for international students who want a clear, supported and guaranteed pathway to university.

A Guaranteed Route to University

One of the standout benefits of the NCUK Foundation Year is its guaranteed progression route. Students do not apply through UCAS. Instead, by successfully passing their NCUK assessments, they are guaranteed a place* at one of 70+ NCUK partner universities in the UK and worldwide.

This removes much of the uncertainty from the university application process and allows students to focus on what matters most: achieving their academic potential.

*Subject to meeting NCUK progression requirements.

Global University Opportunities

NCUK university partners span the UK, Australia, New Zealand, North America and beyond, offering access to thousands of undergraduate degree options across a wide range of subjects. This gives students both choice and flexibility when deciding their next step.

Preparing Students for Success

The programme combines:

  • Academic subject modules aligned with university expectations

  • English for Academic Purposes

  • Study skills, independent learning and critical thinking

Delivered within Myddelton College’s supportive boarding and day school environment, students benefit from individual attention, structured guidance and a strong sense of community — helping them transition confidently into university life.

Excellence You Can Experience

Our NCUK award shortlist reinforces what our students and families already know: Myddelton College delivers an outstanding international student experience.

Whether students are aiming for top UK universities or exploring global study options, the NCUK International Foundation Year at Myddelton offers a trusted, accelerated and proven pathway to success.
