Mechanical and Design Engineering with Foundation

The programme begins with a one-year foundation which is designed to help you develop the study skills and academic knowledge needed for an engineering degree at Bachelors or Integrated Masters level.

This programme provides an extensive understanding and mastery of mechanical, computational, and sustainable life-cycle engineering. We'll nurture your professional engineering skills to focus on sustainable and innovative solutions vital to mechanical engineering systems.

• Engage in both individual and group engineering design projects, showcasing your expertise to potential employers.

• Benefit from our robust industry connections, offering guest lectures and projects led by prominent engineers.

• Immerse yourself in the City St George's commitment to sustainable engineering, a crucial aspect of future mechanical and design engineering.

• Access cutting-edge test facilities, including thermo-fluid laboratories, engine test beds, and a low-turbulence wind-tunnel.

• Utilise state-of-the-art experimental equipment and advanced computational fluid solvers developed at City St George's.

• Study in world-leading research facilities dedicated to designing, developing, and implementing new engineering systems for various industries.

• Leverage links to our international aviation programme for added opportunities.

• Enhance your employability with an optional industry placement year or split placement over two summer periods.

This course with foundation included is designed specifically to help people with the passion and potential to study with us. For example, mature students who need to update their technical knowledge and get used to studying again after being in work.

By the end of the first foundation year and on successful completion, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to progress to a BEng or MEng degree.

Accreditation
We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and the Royal Aeronautical Society, providing a path for you to gain Chartered Engineering status.

Assessment is by coursework and examinations. Group learning and communication skills are addressed through design studies and presentations. Practical and technical skills are assessed through laboratory work, data analysis and project reports.

Grades obtained in each year count towards the final degree classification, with increasing weight given to the later years.
