2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science, Engineering and Computing - Transfer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Civil and Structural Engineering at University of Leeds

Program Description

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.

From safe drinking water to transport systems, developing bridges to responding to natural disasters, civil engineers make a massive impact on the world we live in and our quality of life. This course lets you sample the whole breadth of civil engineering, with opportunities to specialize as you progress.

You’ll study all the major subjects that you need to master as a civil engineer, such as structures, fluids, geotechnics, materials, communications, environmental impact, surveying and mathematics. At the same time, you’ll link these areas by focusing on how they come together in the design of the infrastructure and buildings that underpin modern civilization.

The flexibility of our courses allows you to tailor them to reflect your personal interests and career plans. You could add individuality to your CV by spending time studying abroad or gaining valuable industrial experience through a placement, contributing significantly to your employability when you graduate.
