INTO Scotland INTO Foundation Programme

 Equivalent to a first-year Scottish degree programme, the Foundation programme offers students guaranteed entry to the second year of an ordinary or honours degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, subject to achieving the specified academic English language grades.

What is a Foundation programme?
The programme combines academic study, intensive English language preparation, study skills and cultural orientation, covering all you will need to study successfully in your chosen undergraduate course.

Why choose a Foundation programme in Scotland?
The Foundation programme is the equivalent of the first year of a Scottish undergraduate degree programme, and ensures students meet the English language and academic entry requirements for second-year entry to university. The Foundation programme also enables you to change your specialist subject after a false start elsewhere.

In Scotland, INTO academic preparation programmes count directly towards your degree, meaning it is possible to graduate with an ordinary degree after just two further years of study following a Foundation, or one year following a Diploma – a great opportunity to get a head start in your career.

What are the benefits of a Foundation programme?

    Equivalent to a first-year Scottish undergraduate degree programme.
    Direct entry to the second year of undergraduate study.
    Full university status for all students.
    The programme is quality-assured by the University.

    World-class facilities.
    Successful completion guarantees an offer of a place on an undergraduate degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, subject to meeting the specified grades.

Is the Foundation programme validated or recognised?
Successful completion leads to the award of the Glasgow Caledonian University Undergraduate Certificate in Foundation Studies.

As the programme is valid within the Scottish Credit Qualifications Framework, it can be used to apply for second-year entry to comparable degrees at other institutions in Scotland. You will also be eligible to apply for first-year entry to INTO partner universities across the UK.
Key features

Programme structure
The September and January programmes are taught over three terms (one academic year). There is also a two-term April fast track option.

Academic content
Around two-thirds of the programme is devoted to academic modules from your own subject areas, supported by tuition in English language, academic English, and general study skills including Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Academic English
Academic English is at the core of the programme and covers reading, writing, listening and speaking. You will be internally assessed but also have the option of taking the IELTS test.

Study skills
An essential preparation for university life, this part of the course helps you to work in groups, present ideas, manage your time, conduct research, make lecture notes, organise the content of essays and understand how to evaluate your own work.

A typical Foundation programme week
An average week will include up to 24 hours of timetabled lessons and directed study work. As with University, lessons take the form of lectures, workshops and tutorials – or in science courses, practical laboratory sessions and field trips – and students will also be expected to work alone outside of class time.

All academic subjects modules are taught in lectures and tutorials that mirror the teaching style of university programmes. Core course information will be delivered in lectures, while you deepen your knowledge and powers of critical reasoning through tutorial and e-learning work. You will also have plenty of opportunity to discuss points raised in lectures and seminars with your tutors.

Academic support
You will receive professional advice on personal and academic issues, including guidance on your study and career plans.

Extensive choice of undergraduate degrees
You can choose from Foundation pathways leading to degrees at Caledonian Business School, and the schools of Life Sciences, Engineering and Computing, Health, and the Built and Natural Environment.

Assured university progression
Assured progression to the second year of a degree programme at Glasgow Caledonian University depends upon a) successfully completing the Foundation programme at the levels specified by the University, and b) attaining a proficiency in English equivalent to IELTS 6.0 or above.

Assessment
Progress is checked by continuous assessment of coursework and class tests. The final grade for each module is based on a mixture of coursework and end-of-course examinations. Successful students will receive grades (see the final grades table on page?) for each of their modules.

Assessment is both formal and informal, and designed to help you improve your abilities in preparation for university success. Marks from the Foundation programme do not count towards a final degree, but do help the University assess your abilities with regards to entering your chosen field of study.

You will be assessed through a combination of examinations and coursework, which may include essays, reports, creative writing, practical and laboratory activities, group and individual research projects, portfolios, bibliographical searches, oral and video presentations, subject quizzes, class tests and problem solving exercises.

Academic Information and Regulations

Transfer Credit

Students who were in good standing at another accredited institution may, within maximums, transfer credit for baccalaureate or graduate degree course work. Course equivalency for major requirements must be determined. Students are cautioned that the University is under no obligation to accept transferred courses for subject credit in addition to unit credit for admission. Normally, however, there is a probability that courses in the accepted core of a discipline will be exchangeable between universities. Policy regarding transfer of courses from California community colleges differs in some respects.
Transfer of Undergraduate Credit From Accredited Community Colleges

A maximum of 70 semester units earned in a community college may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree, with the following limitations and stipulations:

    No upper-division credit may be allowed for courses taken in a community college;
    No more than six semester units in education courses taken in a community college may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree or the professional preparation requirements of a teacher education basic credential program;
    Individual program regulations may include specific transfer limitations.
    Students who transfer general education certification are still required to complete at least 9 units of upper-division courses at the campus conferring the degree.
    Any course taken at community colleges can substitute for general education breadth requirements and lower-division requirements, if the course is approved as equivalent to the appropriate CSULB course. Students with more than 70 transferable units from community colleges will get subject matter credit for all such courses, but no more than 70 units will count toward graduation.
    All transferable units taken at community colleges will count toward computation of the overall grade-point average. All transferable units in the major taken at community colleges will count toward computation of the overall major grade-point average.

Extension Credit

A maximum of 24 semester units of Special Sessions course credit, taken as a nonmatriculated student may be accepted toward a baccalaureate degree. Extension credit may not be used to fulfill the minimum 30-unit residence requirement.

Courses offered through CCPE conferring Continuing Education Unit credit (CEU) carry no degree credit.

Graduate Certificates and Diplomas

The graduate certificates and diplomas are ideal for those wanting to broaden existing knowledge, gain industry experience or retrain in areas of demand.

You will need a bachelor's degree or equivalent.

Non-graduates who can demonstrate significant experience in a relevant industry, or students who have completed other tertiary qualifications of a lesser status, may also apply for provisional entry.

Final Piece of Discovery's Driving Force Now at KSC

Inside the KSC Engine Shop, Boeing-Rocketdyne technicians remove the container that enclosed the third and final Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) for Discovery's Return to Flight mission STS-114. The engine is returning from NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi where it underwent a hot fire acceptance test. Typically, the three main engines are installed on an orbiter in the Orbiter Processing Facility approximately five months before launch. The SSME operates at greater temperature extremes than any mechanical system in common use today. The liquid hydrogen fuel is -423 degrees Fahrenheit, the second-coldest liquid on Earth. When the hydrogen is burned with liquid oxygen, the temperature in the engine's combustion chamber reaches +6000 degrees Fahrenheit. The maximum equivalent horsepower developed by the three SSMEs during launch is slightly more than 37 million horsepower. The energy released is equivalent to the output of 23 Hoover Dams. Discovery is currently targeted for launch no earlier than May 14, 2005.
