This one-year foundation programme offers international students – who may not have had the chance to study A-level-equivalent qualifications – the chance to achieve the right academic level, as well as English language and academic skills, to study an undergraduate degree.
Our foundation year offers a pathway to a range of undergraduate degrees in science (biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, neuroscience and psychology) and engineering (aerospace, electronic, mechanical and sustainable energy).
You are guaranteed a place on an undergraduate programme at Queen Mary if you pass the foundation year with the required grades.
As a foundation student you’ll have full access to all student facilities, including welfare, library, social and sport. You’ll be taught on our Mile End campus by experienced university staff who also teach on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
