Program Overview

Study one (or more) term(s) of English before continuing on to your academic pathway programme. Perfect if you need to improve your English level by 0.5 IELTS point.

Pathway courses benefit international students before they start their degree.  More often, such courses become necessary because of the differences between the education system of the student’s home country and the UK. The International Foundation Year is perfect for international students who do not meet the academic requirements. It gives a boost to the students’ academic and language skills and improves knowledge of the subject to meet the intellectual level needed for entry into the degree program at the university.

The International Foundation Year in Engineering and Science (Extended) is a Four-term program offered by Into group preparing students for their undergraduate degree at Queens University Belfast. The students study a combination of English language and subject-specific content and progress to an undergraduate degree when they complete the program.

Physics studies how our Universe works, from the smallest atomic nucleus to the largest galaxy. Our MSci Physics with Medical Applications degree is aimed at students who want to learn about the application of physics to 21st-Century Medicine. Students undertaking this degree will obtain a thorough grounding in modern physics, but will also take modules that give them expertise in modern medical techniques, from MRI scans to radiation and nuclear applications. Students taking this degree are most likely to become medical physicists after graduation.
