foundation pathway (bridging course)
'I'm from the UK and I've never heard of a foundation year' - well, I am and have. This is a common program/me for those who haven't clocked up the right uni. qualifications. Despite the name, these introductory courses in the UK are not that easy to pass. So foundation may be only half the story in this context.
Compare a pre-university gap year, namely a year off.

Example sentence:
gap year: a period, typically an academic year, taken by a student as a break between school and university or college education.
Foundation years are an extra year of study at the start of the course that allows students who don't have the required entry requirements .

: It does exist in a UK educational context, but it means you repeat the year for unsatisfactory results (ripetente) https://bristol.ac.uk/students/support/academic-advice/outco...

: With the difference that the "anno integrativo" was literally an extra year offered by the schools not the universities
