In today's world, nothing is more important than being skilled at something, whether it is computer skills, administrative skills, or interpersonal skills. However, it is equally imperative to have great academic and conceptual clarity, something that might be missing in our skills-focused world of today. Pair up skills with a good education, preferably from a reputable institution and suddenly you've got a winning combination that guarantees your success and takes you far. At Beaconhouse International College, we specialise in the winning combination: one that equips students with both academic principles and professional experiences to allow them to launch themselves for a great and purposeful career ahead. Let's look at what the NCUK IFY Engineering programme has in store for you with the best international college in Pakistan.
The NCUK Engineering programme forms part of the International Foundation Year (IFY) qualification that prepares and equips students with the requisite coursework for their undergraduate degrees and its courses. The IFY programme essentially serves as a bridge, allowing students coming from a local educational institute to catch up to academics on the varsity level. In the initial levels of the programme, much of the focus is directed on the study of the English language, as both language and writing skills are imparted to the students. This obviously helps them develop their communication skills, which are imperative for an impactful career within engineering, be it within academia or within the engineering industry.
After a certain level of English has been reached, academic coursework starts, which aims to equip students with the most basic knowledge about the dynamics of engineering. Let us take you through the particulars of the coursework for the NCUK IFY Engineering programme.
Let's delve a little more into the coursework that this engineering programme in Pakistan boasts, with accreditation from the prestigious NCUK in UK. Some of the highlights of this degree include:
What would engineering be without mathematics? As a core part of the engineering discipline as a holistic entity and the basic building block for understanding engineering principles, this programme heavily emphasises the role that mathematics plays within the realm. This course will help students understand the otherwise difficult concept with much more ease. While many students struggle with Mathematics, since this is primarily an engineering course, therefore, students are expected to not only have a very advanced understanding of basic mathematical concepts but also understand the advanced concepts and understand what engineering mathematics might entail for both their future studies as well as for the professional life ahead of them.
Chemistry is another integral part of this specific IFY, considering that once again, chemistry plays an important role in academics and the conceptual understanding of engineering. With that in mind, the IFY Engineering programme takes chemistry to another level, instilling in students both the basic idea of chemistry and its concepts as well as the advanced levels, where students will be able to understand concepts that they will have touched upon previously in their lower levels of studies.
Once again, delving into the roots of STEM subjects and the 'hard sciences philosophy', students of the IFY Engineering programme are also expected to enhance their understanding of key concepts of physics, as the coursework will cater to students with an already existing conceptual background of key concepts of the subject matter.
At its core, the coursework is divided into two parts: the first part, which has been discussed beforehand, aims to hone the subject skills of the students by making them more adept at engineering. The second one is aimed at English, both for academic and professional purposes, as well as for general communication. Students can choose from three courses designed to cater to students with varying degrees of proficiency in the language. These are as follows.
English for Academic Purposes for non-native speakers:Designed for students with a basic understanding of the English language, aims to equip them with better skills.
English for Academic Purposes for Proficient Users:Designed for students with an advanced understanding and usage of the language. It aims further to hone these skills with aspects of better academic fidelity.
Research and Communication Skills:Aims to impart English skills for proficient use of language in the industry for academic and professional usage.
With any run-of-the-mill engineering degree, finding gainful and meaningful employment can be challenging since the field is saturated. With the NCUK-affiliated engineering IFY programmed from Beaconhouse International College, you can pave your path with an emphasis on bringing newer concepts to reality and always staying at the cutting edge of innovation. Because with a Beaconhouse International College IFY, the only limit is the sky; the only limits are those you place on yourself.
