3.5-Term Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Program - Engineering and Physical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Information 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 Center 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. It 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 undergraduate program 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.

Progress to Bachelor of Science (Honors) - Information Technology

Interested in computer-based systems? This course will provide the skills and understanding needed to apply for jobs where analysis, design, and implementation are required. By completing the full BSc (Hons), students will have the opportunity to spend a year in industry, refining transferable skills. It’s a valuable opportunity to apply knowledge acquired in the lab and lecture halls to the development of real-world systems.

After a solid foundation in fundamental principles, students start to specialize – with the ability to choose modules by the second year to pursue specific interests. The third-year placement provides the chance to further refine skills by developing real-world systems in professional environments.
