University Foundation in Science, Mathematics & IT


Bournemouth Business School International (BBSI), our highly-accredited business college and English school in Britain, offers international students the opportunity to undertake a university foundation course in Britain, while also studying the concepts and learning the skills required either for careers or further study in technical fields such as engineering, natural sciences or computer science.
 
For those with the requisite high-school grades and a strong Intermediate Level in English, the 24-week Higher-Certificate programme in Science, Mathematics & IT enables participants to achieve the learning outcomes in shorter time.  For those with a lower Intermediate Level in English, however, the 36-week Diploma study option builds more gradually in intensity and specialisation.  Both programmes comprise 30 lessons weekly which equates to 22.5 hours.  These courses include extensive *IELTS Examination Preparation  and Academic Study Skills , and prepare the participants for the *International Computer Driving Licence® (ICDL) .  Both study options facilitate undergraduate entry to a UK university and successful students will gain both BBSI and NCFE awards. 
 
UK University Placement Service
 
Students are provided with extensive counselling and guidance in all aspects of study at British universities in all aspects of study at UK universities, and are given full assistance with the UK university application process.  All Foundation students who successfully complete their course are assured of a university place prior to graduation from BBSI.
