Along with four other Schools in the College of Science and Engineering, The School of Chemistry has introduced an Integrated Foundation Programme (IFP).
This has been designed for international students whose school leaving qualifications do not meet the current admissions requirements for direct entry to relevant undergraduate programmes, and who can demonstrate via an entrance test, evidence of excellence in their chosen areas of study. Through this programme Edinburgh's Chemistry degrees are now accessible to students from around the globe.
The IFP is an alternative first year of the School's BSc(Hons) degrees during which students will study chemistry alongside other first year entrants with support tailored to their needs. A course on Academic English for International Students delivered by the English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC), and designed specifically for Science and Engineering students, will also be provided in both semesters.
Unlike many other foundation programmes, this new and innovative programme does not mean an extra year of study. After successful completion of the first year, students will enter the second year of study with other students who have taken the standard first year.
The IFP is available for entry for the 2011/12 academic year and is open for applications through UCAS now (course code F101). Further details are available at the College of Science and Engineering website.
