The Foundation course provides a pathway to BEng and MEng degree courses in Civil Engineering. The emphasis in the Foundation course is on developing your study skills and ability in mathematics and mechanics. The course also suits mature applicants who need to update their technical knowledge and study skills.
This course is designed for students who have the potential to study Civil Engineering at City, but don’t have the entry requirements to apply directly to a degree.
Course Details - Modules
On this one-year course, you’ll develop a firm foundation in key topics related to civil engineering. You will study:
- Mechanics
- Computing and IT
- Communication and study skills
