Electronic and Electrical Engineering with a Foundation Year

Program Overview

The Foundation Studies program at Loughborough University is designed for students who need additional preparation for university-level studies. It provides a pathway to various undergraduate courses in the Engineering, Maths and Physical Sciences stream, including Electronic and Electrical Engineering. The program is particularly suitable for students who have not met the prerequisite requirements, faced adverse situations, or are elite athletes balancing sports and academics.

Why complete a foundation year Completing a foundation year within the Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences Stream will enable you to progress onto the first year of our Electronic and Electrical Engineering or any course, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to your overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation pathway have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into university life. It is ideal for students who wish to combine their performance sports training with academic study.
