International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing and Life Sciences
The programme includes academic modules, study skills and English language training, providing complete preparation for undergraduate degree  in Engineering.

On the International Foundation Year in Engineering, you will:

• Gain understanding of mechanics and mathematics relevant to your undergraduate study
• Develop your knowledge of physics and learn about atomic physics, materials, heat and gases and oscillations and waves
• If you choose Life Science, you will focus on biology and chemistry, developing their knowledge in key areas such as cell biology, physiological processes in animals and plants, inorganic and organic chemistry, and an overview of contemporary science.

What will you study?
Throughout the two-semester programme, you will study core modules that will improve your subject knowledge and English level.

Core modules

• Academic English Skills
• Project study
• Applied Maths
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Coding for Computing
• Introduction to Engineering Mathematics
• Maths for Science
• Physics
• Pure Maths

Upon successful completion of the International Foundation Year, and achieving the required grades, you will join the first year of your undergraduate degree at Liverpool John Moores University.

Leading to: Architectural Engineering BEng (Hons)

The BEng (Hons) Architectural Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University is informed by internationally-acclaimed research plus extensive links with employers, who also offer exciting paid placement opportunities.

Modern living depends upon the engineering services that are an integral part of buildings, and these systems consume a significant percentage of the energy used in the UK.

Architectural Engineers operate as part of a professional team alongside architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors and other construction professionals to ensure that buildings continue to function efficiently while de-carbonising the energy supply. They need to be technically competent and practical in outlook, but also good communicators as they give advice to a wide range of people.

This programme, which has been developed in partnership with practising professionals, helps you gain the skills required to design complicated building engineering systems that can control internal environmental conditions and minimise energy use, such as the heating, lighting, power, lifts, ventilation, water and utilities, as well as managing their installation, commissioning and maintenance.
