2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Engineering and Physical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mathematics with Economics

The 2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Engineering and Physical Sciences is a one-year programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to Loughborough University. This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at the university.

The International Foundation Programme is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the United Kingdom. The two semester programme lasts one academic year [nine months]. Each semester includes, on average, 13 teaching weeks, one reading week and one assessment week. On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week. This programme includes English and three academic subject modules. English will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects, as well as being taught separately if they need additional support to develop their English language. They will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure they are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final semester. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the University environment, and include project work, essays, and presentations.

Economics relates to every aspect of the life, from the decisions people make as individuals to the policies adopted by governments and the products and services offered by companies. By combining the study of mathematics with economics, students will be equipped with the tools to not only understand global challenges, but to also provide solutions. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mathematics with Economics is a great choice for those who want to build a career in commerce, industry or government. By giving them a solid grounding in mathematics together with an understanding of economics, this program will prepare them for careers in such areas as finance, business forecasting and economic model building.
