Program Overview
Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Engineering and Sciences
The Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Engineering and Sciences is a preparation programme for international students who don’t meet the direct entry requirements for an undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde. This pathway will prepare you for your chosen undergraduate degree at the Faculty of Engineering or Faculty of Science. Once you successfully complete the programme, you will progress to the second year of a four-year undergraduate degree.
You will study three core modules that will focus on general skills useful in your progression degree, plus route modules specific to your academic area.
Once you have completed the Undergraduate Foundation Programme, and subject to satisfying the progression criteria, you can proceed to the second year* of your four-year degree at the University.
Leading to: Microbiology BSc (Hons)
Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae.
Microbiology research is central to meeting many global challenges, such as maintaining food, water and energy security for a healthy population on a habitable earth. Microbiology research will also help to answer big questions such as 'How diverse is life on earth?', and 'does life exist elsewhere in the Universe'?
The study of microbiology also plays an important role in making life-saving drugs. Some of the most important discoveries that have underpinned modern society have resulted from the research of famous microbiologists, such as Jenner and his vaccine against smallpox and Fleming and the discovery of penicillin.
A degree in biological science will enable you to go into specialist biomedical science areas such as drug research, biochemistry, microbiology and bacteriology.
