This course is ideal if you would like to join one of our engineering honours degrees but need a preparatory period of study. It provides an alternative entry route if you do not meet our standard entry requirements but have the ability to succeed at degree-level study.
The foundation year in engineering will develop your practical, technical and communication skills, and you'll apply your knowledge to real-life problems. It's taught at the University and you'll have access to all its facilities.
Modules reflect the degree subject you choose but will include one of the following:
Engineering
You'll gain study skills for your degree, look at relevant career options and be introduced to business and project management.
Professional Success
You'll gain study skills for your degree, look at relevant career options and be introduced to business and project management.
Foundation Project-based Learning
You'll work on independent and group projects in your subject area, developing skills in team working, critical thinking and data handling.
Once you have completed this course, you can join a BEng (Hons)/MEng (Hons) engineering degree of your choice, dependent on satisfactory grades.
