Question
sir,
I'm opting to visit & do a foundation course in engineering from a uk college/university.
My Q to you is that DO YOU OR OTHER INSTITUTIONS IN UK(THAT OFFER B.Eng in AERONAUTICS)ACCEPT IFC IN ENGINEERING.
If 'YES',then does your institution offer the IFC in ENGINEERING? And if 'YES' then how & when should I apply for the INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION COURSE in ENGINEERING in your institution?
I'll be ever grateful if you kindly do me the favour of letting me know!

THANK YOU

Answer
Hi Ekram

Our University (Hertfordshire) accepts applicants with foundation courses, but I don't know for sure whether there are any restictions on which Foundation courses are accepted. For those who don't already have the required qualifications for entry onto our programmes, we do offer our own Extended Degree programmes, which begin with a foundation year in one of our partner colleges, and that seems to be what you are looking for.

You can get the details from our website - go to www.herts.ac.uk, then click on Study With Us, select Our Courses, then Aerospace Engineering. Finally, the Extended Degrees information is at the bottom of the list. Good luck.
