Product Design Engineering with Foundation Year

All of our engineering degrees provide project-based learning, helping you to develop the transferable skills and the multidisciplinary awareness so highly prized by industry. The Department of Engineering actively works with professional engineering institutions and encourages its students to engage with them. Our BEng (Hons) and BSc (Hons) courses are accredited by institutions affiliated to the UK Engineering Council.

The foundation year provides a route onto an engineering degree if you don't have the qualifications or have not studied advanced level subjects sufficiently related to your course of choice.

After successful completion of the foundation year in engineering, you can progress on to one of the relevant BEng (Hons) / BSc (Hons) degrees.

Whichever route you take, you’ll have the skills and understanding you need to get started on your engineering career.
