Your course

Perhaps you’re fascinated by engineering, but have never formally studied the subject. Or you may have decided on a career change. It could also be ideal if you do not have the usual academic qualifications to study at degree level.
The Foundation Year isn’t a stand-alone course, but makes up the first year of your studies leading on to a degree within the School of Computing and Engineering. Courses include all our BEng Engineering courses, Mathematics, Music Technology, and some of our Computing courses.
To go on to a degree, you must gain an average mark of 40% and have passed each component of your Foundation Year.
During your studies you’ll have the chance to develop a range of transferable skills, including research, report writing and presentations. All these skills could prove useful in any subject.
Example modules
• Foundation Mathematics • Foundations of Engineering • Engineering Investigative Studies • Communication and Research
Your future
To successfully complete the Foundation Year you must pass all four modules and attain an average mark of 40% or over.
