Toronto Imperial School is expanding international opportunities for its students by building strong academic partnerships with leading global institutions.
We are proud to announce a new pathway to Lancaster University Leipzig (Germany) — the European campus of one of the UK’s top universities.
This collaboration gives TIS students even more flexibility, access, and advantages when planning their academic future.
Direct Admission to Year 1 — No Foundation Year Required
One of the most significant benefits of this partnership is the opportunity for direct entry into the first year of a bachelor’s degree.
Students who complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with a minimum 70% average in six Grade 12 U/M courses can:
- Apply use the powertrain of OSSD to get to Lancaster first year University Leipzig
- Begin their bachelor’s degree without a Foundation Year
- Save both time and additional tuition fees
This pathway highlights the strong global recognition of the OSSD as a rigorous and trusted academic credential.
A Flexible Pathway for Every Student
We understand that every student’s academic journey is unique.
That’s why this partnership also includes a flexible alternative route:
- Students with an average below 70% can enroll in a Foundation Year
This ensures that:
✔️ No student loses their opportunity
✔️ Every learner has a clear next step
✔️ Families can rely on a predictable and secure academic plan
Scholarships and Financial Advantages
Students applying through this pathway may receive:
- Scholarships ranging from €4,000 to €6,500
Combined with the possibility of skipping the Foundation Year, this creates substantial financial savings for families.
Real University Experience from Day One
Students entering the Foundation Year will not be separated from the main student community. Instead, they will:
- Study in the same campus buildings as bachelor’s students
- Access the same academic facilities, libraries, and study spaces
- Experience real university life from the beginning
This early immersion helps students adapt more quickly and build confidence in an international academic environment.
