The Science and Engineering Foundation Programme (SEFP) combine a foundation year with a traditional university degree in an integrated four-year or five-year programme. Progression is available on to most of the BSc, BEng and MEng degree programmes offered by the School of Engineering and Materials Science, subject to successful completion of the foundation year and the achievement of the necessary academic criteria for progression on to the programme of concern. The SEFP is particularly suitable for mature students returning to full-time studies, to students with non-standard academic backgrounds, and to those who lack the specific qualifications required for the degree they wish to pursue.
