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. Society has an urgent demand for scientists who can tackle complex problems by bringing together the ideas of different disciplines. Our Natural Sciences course will prepare you to take on the scientific challenges of future decades. The concepts and language of multiple sciences are taught to you from the beginning. You’ll build solid foundations in three science subjects, coming to specialize in two subjects in your final year. By developing your knowledge of multiple subjects side by side, you’ll acquire a unique perspective on how the ideas and tools of science link together in our understanding of the natural world. The available subject options are biochemistry, biology, chemistry, environmental science, food science and nutrition, mathematics, and physics. Within the program's structure you have the opportunity to tailor the scientific components of your degree and their individual weightings to create a course that builds you into the scientist you want to be. Leeds offers two degree options: the MNatSc, BSc, a four-year integrated Masters degree program, and the BSc program, which is a three-year course.
