BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year

This four-year degree route incorporates a foundation year to give you a solid grounding in the disciplines underpinning mechanical engineering. You will be actively involved in engineering projects and our hands-on approach to learning runs through design, mechanics and materials, improving your employability across many industries.
In your foundation year, you will prepare for the demands of degree in mechanical engineering. We will ensure that your mathematics and physics are up to A level standard, as well as introducing you to the three main disciplines of the engineering industry, mechanical, civil and electronics engineering, you will also work on a collaborative project, developing a range of skills you will need over the course of your degree.

4 years (plus optional placement) Full Time.
