Program Description This two-semester course aims to help you develop the skills you need to succeed at your undergraduate degree at the University of Leeds. Aiming to improve your basic English language skills, as well as honing your academic voice, this course is suitable for students who want a tailored, personal studying experience to introduce you to your higher education career in the UK. Our teachers work closely with students to equip you with knowledge to help you successfully enter the British higher education system. The International Foundation Year in Science, Engineering and Computing is designed as a versatile introduction to all three of these subjects. A core focus on Pure Mathematics will provide you with a fundamental understanding of the topic, as well as applicable skills for your further study. The chosen modular section of the course provides options of concentrated pathways such as Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with a view to shape your degree in a way that suits you and the degree you wish to progress to. Physics is the most fundamental of all sciences. It observes and explores the physical laws and principles that govern the nature of the universe. Physics research underpins many technological advances, from cancer treatments to electronic devices. It is a stimulating and inspiring discipline. At Leeds, you’ll develop a thorough knowledge of core physics, from thermodynamics to quantum physics. You can also explore more advanced topics that relate to our research strengths, from astrophysics to nanoscale and biophysics. On this course, you’ll get involved in real research. It is possible to transfer to the 4-year integrated Masters (MPhys, BSc) course from this three-year Bachelor’s (BSc) degree up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance at that stage.
