Our STEM Foundation Year programs combine Science, Technology, and Engineering for students aspiring to pursue STEM disciplines like computer science without meeting conventional entry criteria. These courses operate on the University of Leicester campus alongside peers who narrowly missed admission to similar programs. During the initial foundation year (year 0), you'll work toward qualifying for automatic advancement to year 1 of our BSc or MComp Informatics degrees. Successful completion guarantees progression to your selected degree's first year. Instruction comes from our distinguished faculty across multiple departments, with a strong focus on cultivating crucial professional and personal competencies for academic and career success. Throughout your foundation year, you'll fully integrate into our vibrant student community, enjoying all university amenities - including Students' Union membership, academic resources, recreational facilities, campus housing, and comprehensive support services, complemented by personalized tutoring.
