International Foundation Year in Science and Engineering

The International Foundation Year in Science and Engineering is a pre-university course that will prepare you to begin a range of undergraduate degrees in the fields of science and engineering at the University of Sussex. It is specifically designed for international students, with academic and English language modules that will give you the skills you need to succeed at Sussex.

You will study a range of modules over two semesters. On successful completion of the course you can then progress to your degree programme, provided you meet all the entry conditions.

  • Life Sciences
  • Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Computer Science
  • Engineering, Maths and Physics

Leading to: Genetics BSc (Hons)

Genetics is having a profound impact on society. Conservation, agriculture, biotechnology and medicine are all undergoing a revolution, made possible by scientific advances in contemporary genetics.

At Sussex, you’ll see how these advances are helping us better understand the genetic basis of human health. You’ll also explore how technological solutions can transform the treatment of disease. And how this could lead us to developing personalised medicine.

In the School of Life Sciences, you’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and academics. You’ll learn from experts specialising in fields such as cancer biology, neurological disorders and population ecology. Your teaching is based on the latest research. On your course, you’ll:

  • Be inspired by a wide range of topics, from cell and molecular biology, genomics and bioinformatics, to structural and developmental biology and neuroscience
  • Learn to use modern experimental techniques and carry out hands-on work in our labs
  • Develop data analysis and communication skills, with the opportunity to learn computing and programming
  • Carry out your own research project.

When you graduate, you’ll have the skills and knowledge for a wide range of science and science-related careers. This could include:

  • The pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries
  • The NHS and healthcare
  • Science writing or publishing
  • Science engagement.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
