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

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.
