This route leads to degrees in fields such as Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Computer Games & Multimedia, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Mechanical & Automotive Engineering, Medical Genetics, Pharmaceutical Science, Product Design, and Software Engineering.

A route is formed of core modules (English language and study skills) and route modules which are specific and crucial for your academic development in the fields of Engineering, Computing and Science.

Core modules

Core modules will improve your English skills and strengthen your mathematics skills. It will also introduce students to study skills such as time management, presentation, essay writing and information sourcing. Another important core module is project study, which introduce students to project planning and development.

Core modules list:
English and Skills for University Study (ESUS)
Study Skills in the British Environment
Project Study - including Word Processing Skills
Core Mathematics.

Route modules

Route modules on the other hand will enable students to develop a deep understanding of the subject area that they would like to study their degree in. For example, if you want to do a design degree, you will need to have a deep understanding of drawing or design history.
