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.

The International Foundation Programme in Engineering consists of units totalling 120 credits. All candidates take four core units which are equal to 80 credits. The core units are:

Additionally, you will also take two elective courses worth a total of 40 credits.

These modules to give you specific subject knowledge which will prepare you for your university undergraduate courses.

Candidates must pass all core and elective modules to be awarded a certificate.

Below is a summary of the content of the two elective units of the International Foundation Programme in Engineering.
