Our STEM Foundation Year programs combine Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics for students aspiring to enter STEM fields like mathematics but lacking conventional qualifications. These courses take place at the University of Leicester alongside peers who narrowly missed direct entry to similar programs. The initial foundation year (year 0) prepares students to advance directly into year 1 of our BSc or MMath Mathematics degrees. Successful completion guarantees progression to your selected degree program. 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 university life, accessing all campus resources including the Students' Union, academic facilities, recreational amenities, housing options, and support services, with dedicated personal tutor guidance.
