What students are saying about us
-
Pengchuan Wang, International Foundation Programme in Physics and Mathematics 2009-10; now studying BEng in Mechanical Engineering
The IFP provided me with a unique and happy experience. The English units in the IFP improved my essay writing skills which has been a big help with my current studies, because I have a lot of reports to write. During my first year, I joined many societies such as Model United Nations, Debating Society and the Football Club. This made my life very colourful and gave me the opportunity to make life-long friends.”

Salah-Eddin Elmejrab, International Foundation Programme in Physics and Mathematics 2009-10; now studying BEng in Mechanical Engineering
The International Foundation Programme was very comprehensive and it proved to be very useful in my degree programme. I felt more prepared than a lot of the students who came straight from A level. Bristol is lovely; we get a mix of living in a big city and special attention from the lecturers and tutors. I am a member of Engineers without Borders; we work on lots of projects, including renewable energy developments. ”

The IFP helped me with my academic English, and has been very useful with my Law degree. I now have to analyse cases and statutes, and the IFP provided a lot of help with my essay writing. There is a good music scene in Bristol, with lots of different concerts and clubs.”
