Program Overview

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.  

There are four different pathway options available, which offer progression to different undergraduate degrees. You can choose from the following options:

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

Leading to: Mathematics MMath (Hons)

How can mathematics help us understand the dynamics of infectious diseases? Or how an idea circulates on social media? Or the behaviour of queues? We’ll show you how mathematics solves real-world problems. You’ll work with experts whose research is having an impact – from forecasting local outbreaks of COVID, to predicting floods.

In your first year, you learn how to derive and prove fundamental results in calculus. You then build on your existing knowledge and discover new aspects of the subject including:

  • Mathematical biology
  • Cryptography
  • Probability
  • Financial mathematics
  • Partial differential equations.

This course is flexible, so you can focus on what fascinates you while gaining a strong foundation in core mathematics. You’ll develop your analytical and modelling skills using industry-standard software such as MATLAB, Python and R.

Our Department is a close-knit community, and you’ll get to know your lecturers on an individual basis. Their dedication and support will help you to get the most from your degree. Academic advisors support you every step of the way and you’ll have lots of opportunities to engage with potential employers. You’ll also have a dedicated careers advisor.

During integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new mathematical skills and knowledge – particularly relevant if you’re interested in going on to a research career, or into specialised fields including data science, finance or mathematical modelling.
