2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science, Engineering and Computing - Transfer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electronics and Computer 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.

Communications, information, visualization and sensing technologies are increasingly being integrated in smartphones, advanced manufacturing, electronic healthcare and other areas. As a result, the interface between electronics and computing is a key growth area for the technology industry.

Taught by the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering alongside the School of Computing, this course has been designed to meet this need. You’ll study the foundations of electronics and computing, from programming languages to electronic circuit design, and learn how the whole hierarchy of digital electronics and software fits together. You’ll then also get the chance to study specialist topics, which may include areas such as distributed systems, parallel computing and medical electronics.

Project work in every year and extensive practical lab classes will give you experience of applying your knowledge, and equip you with the professional skills for a wide range of dynamic careers in this challenging and remarkably fast-growing industry.
