Mechanical Engineering (with foundation year)

The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year 1 of the degree course onwards will be from Coventry University main campus.

This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for a career across a range of engineering disciplines, including the automotive, aerospace, marine and medical sectors.

The foundation year seeks to provide opportunities to develop fundamental knowledge and skills in a range of mathematical and business principles, as well as the theories and concepts of electrical and mechanical engineering. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) degree within Coventry University’s School of Mechanical Engineering.
