Overview
We believe that fair access to higher education is a fundamental enabler for social mobility and are committed to delivering this through our education. We aim to widen participation and raise attainment - bridging gaps in retention, progression and success - to ensure our students enjoy the best possible outcome.
Our BSc Natural Sciences with Foundation Year has been designed explicitly for this purpose, to support UK students from Widening Participation backgrounds wishing to study Natural Sciences:
It covers the core mathematics required to successfully complete the Natural Sciences degree programme at Exeter
Youll be learning in a friendly and structured environment and will be supported academically and personally as you prepare to study the Natural Sciences undergraduate degree
Provided you achieve the specific progression criteria, you will progress into Year 1 of our BSc in Natural Sciences programme
Depending upon the qualifications youve gained prior to beginning the Foundation programme it may be possible to transfer to an undergraduate programme in Mathematics, Engineering or Physics which have a foundation year and provided you meet the entry requirements for that programme.
Your future
Our aim is to teach a syllabus that you will find intellectually challenging, rewarding and stimulating. In addition, to help you develop as a scientist so that you can make a real contribution to the exciting research taking place at the University of Exeter and to important scientific developments long after your graduation.
Many employers look for graduates with a background in a broad based multidisciplinary science degree, as it allows them to tackle problems holistically.
Our courses help students to develop a wide range of key skills for employment and further study such as analytical problem solving, teamwork, and organising and communicating information.
Upon completing one of our degrees our graduates are highly employable and have found positions working in a wide variety of related roles including laboratory-based positions, industry, law, business, management, teaching and government.
