Students admitted to IFP Pathways with the Faculty of Science complete a curriculum that includes BSc courses combined with intensive English language and academic course support.

IFP Pathways Science students take first-year science courses within the Faculty of Science, concurrently with English language and support courses within IFP, commencing in the Summer Term. Students also take three courses in the Spring Intersession later in their degree. This allows students to complete the first year Science program without any delays. Language and academic course support consists of 7 unpaired courses:

  • Unpaired courses focus on foundational academic communication skills, including reading, listening, speaking, and composition.
