Course overview

This programme is for Home students. International students should apply for the Science and Engineering Foundation Certificate at the University of Nottingham International College. This specialist international study centre is located next to the University Park Campus and is run in partnership with Kaplan Pathways.

Strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence before you progress on to year one of your honour's degree. You are guaranteed progression on to your chosen degree after passing your foundation year.

You will study a range of modules including:

• maths
• computer methods
• electricity and magnetism
• mechanics
• physics

The degree you choose will depend on the modules you select to study, but you will not have to make this decision until your second term. The subject areas that you can progress on to are the following:

Engineering

• Aerospace Engineering
• Architecture and Built Environment*
• Chemical and Environmental Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• Mechanical, Materials, Manufacturing Engineering

Physical sciences

• Computer Science
