University Foundation Programme in Engineering
This course is specifically designed for High School students who wish to progress onto undergraduate engineering foundation
course at UK universities. It provides a foundation for all main areas of engineering including civil, mechanical, electrical and
electronic, chemical and petroleum.
There is a strong emphasis on developing the learning skills required for studies at higher education level in the UK. The
teaching of the three depth modules – Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry – encourages students to evaluate and apply
information, and to develop the problem-solving skills required at the undergraduate level. In Physics and Chemistry, students
also develop skills in planning, executing, and analyzing practical investigations.
The Physics component of the programme is divided into Core Physics, Further Physics 1, and Further Physics 2. The aim of
these modules is to develop knowledge and understanding as well as an appreciation of the applications of physics and their
importance to different fields of human activity.
