About this course
The Foundation in Engineering will give you a broad understanding of the fundamentals of engineering and a solid grounding in mathematics and other subjects, enabling you to successfully proceed to a BEng or MEng undergraduate engineering degree. You will have opportunities to interact with students and lecturers across the Faculty of Engineering, which will help you to make an informed decision on the branch of engineering that you would like to pursue. As an engineering student you will spend a significant amount of time performing lab work, as well as participating in tutorials, written assignments and attending lectures. There is a strong emphasis on the teaching of mathematical and physical sciences. You will also be introduced to computer language and programmes, as well as study and research techniques essential for undergraduate level programmes.
