David Game College and Aberystwyth team up on international foundation program

The partnership will see David Game responsible for international marketing and student recruitment, while Aberystwyth will deliver its international foundation program on campus. Students will receive a single, integrated Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) covering both their foundation and undergraduate studies.

Harriet Howse, head of global engagement and associate director of global marketing and student recruitment at Aberystwyth University, said the institution was “delighted” to be working with David Game.

“This collaboration supports Aberystwyth’s strategic goal of expanding our global footprint while offering talented students around the world a high-quality and supportive route into our university community. We look forward to welcoming our first cohort in 2026,” she said.

Theo Theodorou, director of partnerships, collaborations and transnational education at David Game College, added: “This partnership represents the next chapter in David Game College’s commitment to building meaningful, high-impact collaborations with leading UK universities.”

“Aberystwyth University’s academic reputation, combined with our recruitment infrastructure and global networks, creates an exceptional opportunity to attract diverse and high-calibre international students to study in Wales,” he said.

David Game College – with a presence in London, Liverpool and Bath – offers A Levels, foundation pathways and international programs, with a network of recruitment partners around the world.

Meanwhile, Aberystwyth University is one of the UK’s oldest higher education institutions, having been founded in 1872. Located in west Wales, King Charles III spent 10 weeks studying at the university in 1969 to learn Welsh and study about the country’s history before becoming the Prince of Wales.

Wales is positioning itself as a regional hub for international education, offering overseas students a warm welcome and shunning the £925-per-international student fee levy that is set to be imposed on English institutions from 2028.
