3-Semester Pathway - Extended International Foundation Year - Engineering, Computing and Life Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) Mathematics with Finance

This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at Liverpool John Moores University followed by entry into a university program offered at Liverpool John Moores University. In your international foundation year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

The International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing and Life Sciences will familiarize you with a wide area of study. You will develop your critical thinking skills, creativity, analytical and team working skills, providing you with the most crucial skills required as a successful graduate.

These studies will build a solid foundation in quantitative methods combined with an understanding of how to use mathematical and statistical applications. Finance modules are studied at each level to give the course its distinctive flavour. In the final year, you will have a chance to specialise in areas like operational research, multivariate analysis and data mining, corporate finance and international finance.

This degree has a very high academic and professional standing and the Applied Mathematics Department has been formally recognised for its high quality teaching, excellent resources and dedicated staff. The Department also boasts state-of-the-art facilities at its Byrom Street campus, with over 150 high performance computers and industry-standard software.

​We aim to improve your employability wherever possible on this course, which is why practical modules are introduced at every level. Most importantly, you can spend a sandwich year on a paid work placement to get a taste of what it's really like to work in industry.
