A number of our degrees are also offered with an additional foundation year (Year 0). Whether you are a school-leaver or someone considering returning to study but don’t have the entry requirements for your chosen subject, a foundation year course may be just what you’re looking for.
A foundation year is the first year of a four year programme which:
•provides an introduction not only to study at University but also to your chosen subject
•offers you a highly supportive environment where you can develop the self-confidence, knowledge, skills and understanding for further study.
A foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education when you don’t reach the entry requirements for your subject. On this course you can unlock your creative potential and build technical expertise to help you become a highly skilled, work-ready graduate. If you want to work at the cutting-edge of engineering, developing and designing the components and machinery used in manufacturing, construction and other industries, then this is the course for you. It offers you real-world application of science, technology and maths where you'll take genuine problems proposed by the industry and apply your practical skills and technical knowledge to solve them, working with engineering experts along the way. On completion of the course you'll be skilled in professional engineering practice and prepared to work as an effective, industry-ready engineer who is on track to become an Incorporated Engineer (IMechE).
