The Foundation Year provides an introduction to mathematics, mechanics, computer programming, electricity and electronics, and engineering principles and provides the skills required to study successfully for an undergraduate degree.
If you want to study for a degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or Geophysics but you did not choose mathematics and physics at A level, our Foundation Year is the ideal choice for you. This intensive year of study includes both theoretical and practical activities and attracts highly motivated students who want to make a change of direction in their studies. Successful completion of the Foundation Year can lead you to a place on any one of 15 different integrated undergraduate degree disciplines.
In this preliminary year of study you will learn the core principles of mathematics, mechanical science, engineering principles and electricity and electronics. You will also undertake laboratory work and a variety of assignments to develop your critical thinking and problem solving.
Successfully completing the Foundation Year gives you guaranteed entry to the majority of our engineering, physics and geophysics courses. Our engineering courses carry professional accreditation and offer excellent career prospects.
Graduates who have entered our degrees through the Foundation Year have progressed to a variety of exciting engineering, science and technology roles in the private and public sectors, as well as to self employment and consultancy, both in the UK and overseas.
The University of Southampton also offers the International Foundation course integrated with Law, Arts, Humanities, Business and Sciences.
Southampton is located on the South coast of England, close to the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. Just over one hour by train from London. The main campus is bordered by the beautiful Southampton Common - over 300 acres of managed woodland - creating the perfect combination of a thriving natural environment and a bustling, cosmopolitan city. One of the UK's top 10 retail destinations, a busy port and sailing centre, and one of the safest places to live in the UK, Southampton is a city that looks to the future with expectation and ambition. Excellent road, rail, sea and air links to the area enables students to travel extensively and always be flexible about transportation. Southampton Airport is located nearby, which is also beneficial for the international students. Moreover, especially for their students, University-owned bus service provides transport across the city.
