INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS Thanks to INTO I’ve met people from all parts of the world and built great friendships. My eyes have been opened to intercultural relationships, I love how different everyone is, but the same. Small class sizes made it so easy to make friends and I plan on visiting Singapore to see an INTO classmate, she will also come to my country too.

“Everything started with a Sunday roast! When I first came here me and my friends would try this traditional food in different places around the city. Exeter’s a safe, student city and it’s really easy to walk everywhere.”

STUDENT HELPER I’m a student helper on campus which I really enjoy. I love assisting other international students with their UCAS form and helping answer any questions they may have about applying to university. I was once in their position so I totally understand how they feel.

“Home is home, but Exeter is like another home to me now. Both are very precious.”

ENCOURAGE OTHERS

MAKING MUSIC

During busy exam periods me and my friends make ‘encouragement packages’. We go to study areas and give students (international and from the UK) a small can of coke, or sweets and say nice things to encourage them!

It can be a stressful time so it’s nice to do something positive for others.

I play the piano and once a week I go to the campus music house. You can borrow instruments so I practise the piano and sometimes percussion. Your level can be low but when you play music with friends it’s fun and creates a great spirit.

MODULE DESCRIPTIONS

Engineering Mathematics

Detailed descriptions of the core and specialist modules for the International Year One programme pathways are set out below.

This module will extend your mathematical skills to the level necessary to complete a BEng or MEng degree programme. It will cover topics which are fundamental to engineers in their professional career. It will cover the application of mathematics to engineering problems.

Accounting for Management and Economics This module is an introduction to the complementary concepts of financial accounting and management accounting for non-accountants. It will cover the principles of interpreting published financial information and methods for using accounting as an important tool for decision making.

Cognition, Emotion and Development The main concepts of cognitive and developmental psychology are presented in this module. You will learn how to investigate mental representations in adults and cognitive processes in the developing child that enable humans to select and interpret information made available by the senses, to categorise objects, to understand language, to remember, and to what extent humans are consciously aware of these processes and representations.

Core Engineering (Mechanics, Materials and Electronics) This module will introduce key concepts of structures, mechanics and electronics in order to provide a basis for further study in these areas.

Core Engineering (Project) This module will provide the basis for developing the transferable and personal skills appropriate to university study and to later professional life through topics such as engineering drawing, design, and health and safety through completing a mini-project.

Electronics for Engineers This module takes you into the world of electronic engineering. Topics include both analogue and digital signals including an introduction to semi-conductor devices.

Study of Boolean algebra and the fundamentals of logic gates leads to the design of combinational and sequential logic circuits and their applications. You are introduced to a vast field that covers everything from radio to spaceflight.

Engineering Mechanics This module will introduce you to fundamental concepts of solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.

English Language Skills for Undergraduate Studies/English Language and Study Skills for Engineering This module will improve your language proficiency within the context of your studies, in order to: • develop the ability to read complex academic texts and extract relevant information • produce written assignments in an appropriate format following academic conventions • develop fluency and confidence in seminar discussions and the delivery of presentations • enhance the ability to extract relevant information from lectures • produce a written assessment based on extensive reading and some library-based research.

Introduction to Biological Psychology In this module you are introduced to the basic concepts of the physiological and neurobiological mechanisms underlying the generation and control of behaviour in humans and animals. Topics covered include the structure and functions of brains; neuronal communication and how genes, hormones and neurotransmitters in various physiological processes affect behaviour, cognition, emotions, motivation and development.

Introduction to Clinical Psychology In this module, you will learn about major mental health and neuro-developmental disorders, gaining valuable insights into how such problems arise, the treatments that may be offered, and how they are of benefit.

Introduction to Financial Accounting You will be introduced to the main financial reports, from source documents through to simple published financial statements.

The module will also cover the scope of financial reporting in the UK and the basics of the interpretation of published accounting information.

Introduction to Management Accounting You will be introduced to basic cost accounting processes and both long and short-term decision-making techniques.

Using calculations you will learn to evaluate the outcomes of various scenarios and make reasoned recommendations.

Introduction to Marketing The module provides an introduction to the marketing mix, marketing management and the role of marketing in a sustainable global society. It will help you understand how organisations use data for marketing purposes and what this means for advertising, the supply chain and budgets.

Introduction to Research Methods You will learn the basic skills necessary to understand and conduct research in psychology.

You will also get first-hand experience of participating in psychological research, learn how to design experiments, to write reports and to work with literature sources.

Introduction to Social Psychology Social psychology seeks to understand how people think, feel and act in relation to others and the world around them. The topics of interest to social psychologists cover almost everything humans do, from personal choices to conflict and violence in society. Because social psychology is applicable to so many domains, it is also directly relevant to everyday life – by learning about social psychology, students also learn something about themselves.

Introduction to Statistics

Materials and Manufacturing

In this module you will have training on a variety of different statistical techniques commonly used in research conducted by psychologists through lectures, practicals and tutorials.

This module will enable you to develop an awareness of principal engineering materials, their fabrication, and their technical and economic considerations.

Laboratory sessions will allow you to develop practical skills.

Management Concepts and Practice This module is designed to: introduce management and organisational concepts and related theories; examine the formulation and implementation of business strategy; and explain the main management issues in marketing, human resources and operations.

Principles of Economics This module provides an essential body of economic theory, which will provide both the basis for further study and equip you with a real understanding of the role of economics in business, public and private decision making.

Psychological Concepts, Language and Study Skills This module will improve your language proficiency within the context of psychology, in order to: • develop the ability to read complex academic texts and extract relevant information • produce written assignments in an appropriate format following academic conventions • develop fluency and confidence in seminar discussions and the delivery of presentations.

In this module you will also have additional support and tuition in the areas covered by your psychology modules.
