Program Overview

International Foundation Year in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
Studying our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programme will prepare you for a degree across a range of exciting areas, including biochemistry, civil and infrastructure engineering and mathematics. By the time you finish the programme, you will have had the necessary specialist English language, study skills and subject specific tuition to prepare you for an undergraduate degree.

Many of the progression degrees include work placements and the opportunity to study abroad, for the same fee as a traditional degree. Combining academic study with professional experience will give you the skills and confidence you need to succeed in your chosen career.

What you'll study

During your Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics International Foundation Year you will study the following modules:

• Applied Maths
• Core Biology
• Core Chemistry
• Core Computing
• Core Physics
• Academic English Skills
• Pure Maths

Once you have successfully completed the programme, and achieved the required grades, you will be well-equipped to start your undergraduate degree at Kingston University London.

Leading to: Biochemistry BSc (Hons)
This course will help you understand the molecular processes that control life, from molecules (such as DNA and proteins) and cells, to the complex structures of whole organisms.

In your final year, you'll select from options such as Advanced Analytical Science, Clinical Chemistry and Haematology, and Chemotherapy of Infectious and Neoplastic Diseases. Choosing a specialist topic that inspires you, you'll have the opportunity to work on an independent research project.

You'll acquire the knowledge and technical skills to work in a wide variety of roles, including those in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. You'll also be able to go on to do further research and contribute to our understanding of how biochemistry underpins all human life.
