Start your engineering journey with a foundation year at Loughborough University! Ideal for international students seeking academic success. Apply now!
Program Description This course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their sporting commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers. Completing a foundation year will enable students to progress onto the first year of Electrical Engineering, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. The foundation course is taught in-house by University staff including specialist Foundation teaching staff. Students will be full members of the University, with the same access to the Students’ Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments. They will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, labs and tutorials. During the year they will undertake modules in Applicable Mathematics, Physics, Materials with Engineering Science and Programming with Electronics. Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to students' overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation year have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into University life.
