BSc (Hons) Mathematics (Foundation Entry)

University of Lancashire, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

This foundation year builds on your mathematical skills, preparing you for entry onto the BSc (Hons) Mathematics degree.

A Foundation Entry course is ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.

Early on in the course you’ll attend a residential team building activity, so you’ll get to know staff and students, and develop friendships that’ll last throughout your studies.

The syllabus covers a range of mathematical topics, including the applications of mathematics in physics and engineering.

At the end of your foundation year, and with good grades, you can progress onto the mathematics degree, or onto a degree in physics, astrophysics, or engineering.
