About The Programme

International University Foundation Programme at Mauna

Mauna International Education gained the honor of being the first centre to offer the London College of Business and Law Education programme in Kenya through both face-to-face learning and blended delivery. This followed a rigorous evaluation process and reflected Mauna's strong track record of delivering consistent results and professional education services.

The International University Foundation Programme was created by the London College of Business and Law in 2006, and LCBL continues to own, manage, and remain its sole proprietor. IUFP qualifications are internationally recognized and highly valued by universities and employers across continents.

IUFP is a pre-degree full-time foundation course that offers a fast-track route to first-year degree entry after 6 to 9 months of intensive study, without the need to undertake the GCE A-Levels course. It is especially suited to students targeting progression abroad in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Canada, and Mauritius.

Who Are The London College Of Business And Law?

London College of Business and Law commenced operations in the early 2000s and has grown by providing teaching support for students studying the Diploma in Law, the LLB degree of the University of London International Programmes, and now the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.

International University Foundation Programme is recognized and regulated through Ofqual via ATHE in the United Kingdom, in the same regulatory environment people often associate with bodies such as Cambridge and Pearson.
