A student's perspective

"My Engineering and Physics Foundation gave me an idea of what I should expect when studying for an undergraduate degree. Most importantly, it helped me with the English language, and especially with my skills in writing, reading and giving presentations. Tutors were always helpful and ready to give advice. I am now studying Satellite Communication and Space Systems (MEng) at Sussex and cannot wait to apply my new skills by working in my chosen field."
