Why Extended BSc Hons Science?
This programme is as a bridge between your current qualifications and UK University undergraduate entry requirements. Furthermore, if a prospective student does not have a relatively high Apolytirion Grade or his/her English Level cannot be verified to be high (TOEFL/IELTS) then the foundation program must be taken.
Foundation Courses are not only designed to bridge academic gaps, but also help you improve your English and learn about UK life and culture in preparation for university.
By sucessfully completing this first year of a 4-year programme, you may continue your study in the chosen programme.
The aim of the Year 0 suite (Foundation program) is to provide students with the knowledge and skills base required to undertake an undergraduate programme in Engineering, Computing, Science and Humanities and consists of four pathways, Computing, Engineering, Humanities and Science.

Each pathway consists of a common 60 credits designed to develop skills in the partnered subject areas of mathematics and information and communication technology and to develop personal transferable skills such as self-learning, time-management, communication, analytical and critical abilities.
Each pathway then contains a further 60 credits of courses core to the subject discipline.To complete your programme, students will need to accrue 120 credits per year.
