IFP in Engineering

International Foundation Programme in Engineering

The right choice for any students looking to study Engineering courses at university.

All students study a variety of English language modules which help prepare you for academic study in the UK. Our main focus is to teach you a range of skills so you can research and construct academic assignments in English. In addition, you will make and deliver presentations to other students, and practice note-taking skills to prepare you for university lectures.

In addition, all students undertake a module in Foundation Maths during the first part of the course, which is a requirement of all our university partners.

For the IFP in Engineering Pathway, you will also study both Physics and Further Maths modules to give you specific subject knowledge which will prepare you for your university undergraduate courses.

Below are the modules which you will cover during your time on the International Foundation Programme. At the end of the course you will take exams in both modules.
