Course Summary

This Foundation Year has been designed to give you a solid basis in studying within the School of Computing and Engineering. 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 to a BEng or MEng degree on our Automotive, Digital Manufacturing, Electronic, Electrical, Engineering Design, Energy, Mechatronics, Medical Technologies, or Mechanical Engineering courses at Huddersfield. You can also progress to our Music Technology courses, our Mathematics BSc(Hons) and some of our Computer Science courses. To progress onto a degree, you must gain an average mark of 40%, and have passed each component of your Foundation Year. On the Foundation Year you’ll have the chance to develop the academic knowledge and explore skills you need to obtain a BEng(Hons). We’ll cover: * Mathematics * Engineering science * Electronic and electrical engineering * Mechanical and related areas of engineering. By looking at each STEM discipline in turn, we give you the flexibility to try new things and decide which degree is right for you. 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 career. You might like to hear what students on our engineering courses have to say about studying at the University of Huddersfield. Jaimin is studying Electronic Engineering and Computer Systems BEng(Hons) (http://hud.ac/jaimin) and Charlotte is studying Mechanical Engineering BEng(Hons) (http://hud.ac/charlotte).
