International Year One Engineering & Computer Science

University of Huddersfield International Study Centre

About this route

The International Year One in Engineering & Computer Science will develop your subject knowledge and English language skills, whilst preparing you to join the second year of your chosen undergraduate degree at the University of Huddersfield’s School of Computing and Engineering.

Just like the first year of an undergraduate degree, the International Year One is a two-semester programme with a choice of modules, all taught on campus. You will have the additional benefit of smaller class sizes and more support to help you develop your academic knowledge, study skills and language abilities to prepare you for your degree.

You will study several core modules focused on general skills, but the majority of your programme will be the specialised academic content relevant to your chosen undergraduate degree.

Why study Engineering & Computer Science?
