Foundation in Engineering and Computer Science

This Foundation year is designed to facilitate access to a wide range of full honours Engineering and Computer Science based degrees within Cardiff School of Technologies. The foundation year is intended to prepare you for your subsequent years of studying, offering you the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence. The foundation year will be relevant to: Students who have not achieved the required A level points (or equivalent) score to enter the first year of their chosen degree programme. Mature students who have been out of the formal education system for some time. Upon successful completion, you will have a strong foundation of core knowledge that you will be able to apply to your chosen course. You will gain a thorough and practical grounding in the mathematics concepts and contemporary themes essential to technology. Optional modules will enable you to tailor your studies to your specific interests and chosen degree, and a final project will consolidate your learning. You will develop key research skills and transferable skills to aid further study, and become fully integrated into student life prior to progressing to year 1.
