Andy Straughan, NCUK associate director for Africa, Middle East, Europe and Americas, congratulated both “our wonderful pioneering students on successfully completing the NCUK IFY, as well as all academic and centre staff on providing excellence in teaching, guidance and support through Reddam House’s first IFY”.
He added that the NCUK was looking forward to welcoming students from SA to NCUK university campuses for their first undergraduate year. “We believe they will continue to thrive and succeed in their academic careers.”
Sheena Crawford-Kempster, MD for education and ethos at Reddam House schools in SA, said the new educational offering with its globally established track record opened a whole new world of opportunities for SA post-matriculants.
“Choosing to study abroad is a momentous decision,” she said, “and the NCUK provides guidance, advice and support to assist our IFY students in their pursuit of a diverse range of studies, with the perfect pathway to gain access to prestigious international universities.”
Graham Keats, IFY academic manager SA (Reddam House) and local coordinator of the programme and students, said it was an honour to experience the first IFY in this country with the students and the lecturing team, all of whom had embraced the programme.
Keats encouraged SA matriculants who were keen to study abroad to consider enrolling in the NCUK IFY, which will take them through the programme in 2022 and into a leading UK university in September 2022.
“This programme has the potential to change lives, to be a gateway that helps our students realise their ambitions to study internationally and pursue successful careers around the world,” he said. “We have come through our first year of IFY at Reddam House, and we are proud of every participant and every stakeholder — including staff and parents.”
