Vianova Global today announces the formal launch of the International Corridor Programme (ICP) — a structured academic pathway bringing high-achieving international students to Sedbergh School for two years of A-level study in STEM subjects and Business Studies, followed by progression to Year 1 undergraduate study at the University of York.
The programme represents a landmark collaboration between three world-class institutions — Vianova Global as programme operator, Sedbergh School as exclusive UK academic partner, and the University of York as exclusive university progression partner — united by a shared commitment to academic rigour, student wellbeing, and the highest standards of international education.
"The International Corridor Programme is about giving exceptional students a genuinely exceptional route to a British university education — with clarity, structure, and support at every step."
Daniel Wellings, Director & Founder, Vianova Global
About the Programme
The ICP is designed for high-achieving international students at Key Stage 5 level — typically aged 16 to 18 — who aspire to study at a leading UK university. Students join Sedbergh School in Cumbria for two years of full boarding A-level study, completing the Vianova Foundation Course, a University of York–approved English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme, and a Capstone Project delivered by University of York professors.
On successful completion, students progress to Year 1 undergraduate study at the University of York — a Russell Group university consistently ranked in the world's top 200.
Applications Now Open
Applications for the 2026–27 ICP cohort are now open. Registered agents can submit student applications through the Vianova admissions portal. Schools and universities interested in partnering with Vianova are invited to contact Daniel Wellings directly.
