International Foundation Year in Science and Engineering
The International Foundation Year in Science and Engineering is a pre-university course that will prepare you to begin a range of undergraduate degrees in the fields of science and engineering at the University of Sussex.
It is specifically designed for international students, with academic and English language modules that will give you the skills you need to succeed at Sussex. You will study a range of modules over two semesters. On successful completion of the course you can then progress to your degree programme, provided you meet all the entry conditions. There are four different pathway options available, which offer progression to different undergraduate degrees. You can choose from the following options:
Life Sciences
Psychology
Computing
Engineering
All pathways offer the same style of teaching you will receive at the University of Sussex, providing a straightforward transition into undergraduate study. On this programme you can choose to change your pathway and progression degree during semester one. Our staff will guide you throughout your studies to ensure you make the right academic choices for you.
