Our Engineering and Physical Science Foundation Pathway is the perfect preparation for undertaking a Russell Group education at a global top 100 university. We guarantee your progression to a wide range of our undergraduate programmes if you meet our progression requirements.

 

Our foundation pathway provides you with a fully integrated experience, which means you will be taught by Birmingham academics and have full access to all the facilities at the University of Birmingham’s stunning Edgbaston campus.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Pathway will lead to a number of undergraduate degrees that have an excellent reputation for teaching and research. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects are critically important in the development of our future fuels, materials and machines, and the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences plays a significant role in training the next generation of world-class engineers and scientists to solve our future challenges. We have strong links with major UK employers such as Rolls-Royce and Airbus, and our staff and students are at the forefront of research into a wide variety of areas, from working with particle physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to using nanotechnology to develop microengines.

 

Applying to our foundation pathways from September 2021

At Birmingham, we are proud to deliver our own, on-campus foundation pathways, taught by Birmingham academics. To enable us to better support our applicants, we have launched an exciting new partnership with Kaplan International Pathways to deliver our Admissions process for courses starting from September 2021 onwards. This partnership means that wherever in the world you are applying from, Kaplan staff will be on hand to help guide you through the application process, and help you to secure a place on one of our own foundation pathways. Kaplan has 15 years of experience in helping students to study abroad on pathway courses, so you're in safe hands.

There are no changes to the delivery of the pathways, which will continue to be taught by Birmingham staff, and we will continue to apply our standard entry requirements, and deliver high quality teaching to our students.

Alternative offers through our Pathways to Birmingham programmes and our Contextual Offer scheme

Students who are eligible and successfully complete a Pathways to Birmingham programme will receive special consideration from admissions tutors and an alternative offer (typically two grades below the standard offer). In addition, our Contextual Offer Scheme recognises the potential of students whose personal circumstances may have restricted achievement in school or college. If you are eligible to benefit from the contextual offer scheme, you will receive an offer which is one grade lower than the standard offer.
