Foundation Year

Would you like to study engineering at The University of Manchester but don't have the right entry qualifications? Why not consider a Foundation Year course?
 
Foundation Year courses are aimed at students of high academic ability who do not possess the appropriate qualifications for direct entry onto first year undergraduate courses. If you successfully complete the Foundation Course you are guaranteed a place on the first year of your chosen course. You will study modules in pure and applied mathematics, physics, chemistry and biomolecular science according to your chosen course. You will also take supplementary modules such as communication skills and information and communications technology.

The Foundation Year course is also ideal for International students who have been awarded the National School Leaving Certificate after Year 12. British students complete their school education after Year 13. The Foundation Year course, therefore, provides education for the missing year.

International students whose English Language does not meet normal first year entry requirements (IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 550) will also study for a recognised English Language qualification.
