2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science, Engineering, and Computing - Transfer to Master of Physics (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 have several chances to get involved in real research, such as through our group industrial project module and your final year research project.

We offer all students the chance to apply for a summer research placement, where you’ll work with our researchers and be paid a salary. As well as advancing you as a physicist, these opportunities allow you to develop transferable skills that can help you achieve your aspirations.
