International Year Two

The International Year Two (IY2) is equivalent to the second-year level study of a three-year undergraduate degree. It supports international students who wish to complete their undergraduate studies by joining the third year of your chosen degree.

Upon successful completion of the IY2, you will continue to the final year of your chosen degree. 

Why study the International Year Two?

This three-term programme provides an intensive combination of more advanced subject-specific content with the opportunity to develop language and academic study skills as elements of a focused 30-credit module. Study your chosen degree-related modules while earning the remaining 90 of your 120 second-year credits. 

Achieve degree entry requirements

If you do not meet the English language level and academic skills required for an undergraduate degree, an IY2 programme is the right path to still study at DMU while achieving the required academic skills.

Individual support

Throughout your studies, you will benefit from small class sizes and support from qualified and experienced teachers.
