3.5-Term Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Program - Engineering and Physical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Architectural Technology

The 3.5-term program offers successful students guaranteed progression to London South Bank University. Students will study their Foundation program at the ONCampus London South Bank University Centre located at the heart of the London South Bank University campus. This extended program is available for students who do not have the required English language level for the 3-term pathway. The program lasts 4 terms and includes an English language module (ELPP) followed by 3 terms of Undergraduate Foundation Program (UFP).

The program is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at London South Bank University. All students who successfully complete the Undergraduate Foundation Program are guaranteed placement on a suitable program of undergraduate study at London South Bank University. The Undergraduate Foundation Program is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the United Kingdom.

The year begins with an English language module and then the next three terms are divided into seven to eight teaching weeks and one examination week, and half a term of English language. On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week.

English Language forms up to six hours of the timetable, is compulsory for students who are below the required level for progression, and will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects as well as being taught separately if additional support is needed. Students who are at or above the required English level for progression are likely to follow a reduced timetable.

Students will progress to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Architectural Technology. This course combines creativity with the science and technology needed to bring architectural plans to life. Students will be equipped with design, technical, and management skills, and will learn to apply scientific principles and practical knowledge to meet performance criteria.

The course covers building design and technology, 3D visualization, project and contract management, and architectural conservation, with the option to complete the third year in a paid professional work placement. This programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
