Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering
The Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering provides international students with the skills needed to progress on to degree courses related to both science and engineering subjects.
The Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering teaches students a broad range of introductory science and engineering modules.
All Foundation Certificate courses at Liverpool International College have been specifically designed to meet the needs of international students. The main elements in the Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering are:
- Academic skills modules
Develop key academic skills including research, essay writing, presentation and analysis skills - Subject modules
In covering the basics of your chosen area of study in either international science or engineering, you will gain the comprehensive knowledge required for your progression to the University of Liverpool. Modules also include more specialised topics that focuses on the skills and knowledge you will need most in your chosen undergraduate degree course.
English Language tuition is also provided for students who need it.
Upon successful completion of the Foundation Certificate at the required level, you will progress to Year 1 of an undergraduate degree at the University of Liverpool.
Need an extra term of maths & science (bridging modules)?
Engineering students, maths students or science students on a two-term Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering course, can choose to take maths and science bridging modules for an extra term. This is ideal for students who:
- Have lower than average scores in Mathematics and Science, and need to strengthen their subject knowledge
- Have been out of full time education for more than a few months and would benefit from reviewing core curriculum
- Are concerned they may struggle to achieve good results in the shorter two-term course
- Would like to solidify their basic mathematics or international Science studies before studying at a higher level
- Wish to increase their chances of obtaining good results in their science or engineering studies
It is a 3 Term course where successful completion of Term 1 leads onto the traditional 2 Term Science and Engineering Foundation Certificate. Download the PDF for more information: Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering (Maths and Science)
