Offered by University of Southampton, the MEng (Hon) Computer Science with Industrial Studies and Foundation Year provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in engineering and technology. Based in Southampton, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 6-year full-time structure. This one-year full-time course is integrated with a further five-year undergraduate degree, and will equip you with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to successfully meet the challenges of our MEng Computer Science with Industrial Studies degree. It is aimed at students who are highly motivated but did not choose the A level subjects required for direct entry to their chosen degree, are studying a BTEC, or a mature student. Successful completion of this Foundation Year guarantees progression to one of seventeen subject areas, including Computer Science. International tuition fees are £24,800 per year, home/UK fees are £9,250 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 84% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £47,000 within three years, and 75% of graduates in employment or further study.
| A-Level | ABB ABB* *If you have not taken the A-Level subjects required for first year entry to your chosen course, then you will usually need a Foundation Year. If you have studied all the subjects required for first year entry to your chosen course, then you will not normally be eligible for the Foundation Year. For example, if you want to study BEng Mechanical Engineering, you must not have already studied or be studying A-levels in both maths and physics. If you are studying maths but not physics or if you are studying physics but not maths, then you would normally be eligible to study BEng Mechanical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year. If you are studying three other subjects (i.e. not maths or physics) e.g. sociology, biology and geography, then you would normally be eligible to study BEng Mechanical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year. For further information please to refer our webpage, which lists the subject combinations that are not acceptable for entry to our Foundation Year. If you still need any help determining your eligibility for this course, please contact our Admissions Team. |
