Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year

Mechanical engineers are the creative minds behind some of the world’s most innovative technologies.

From designing life-changing machines to pioneering cutting-edge inventions, our Mechanical Engineering degree gives you the expertise to turn ideas into reality.

Our Mechanical Engineering programme doesn't just teach theory, it equips you with practical, hands-on experience that sets you apart in the job market.

You’ll be able to develop your analytical and problem-solving skills while gaining invaluable exposure to real-world engineering challenges.

The optional Foundation Year for this programme can give you an exciting introduction to higher education, setting you up with the skills, confidence, and knowledge that you’ll need to be successful in your undergraduate degree. It’s ideal if you need a little more support after further education, or are returning to education after a gap. Following successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will progress onto Year 1 of your degree.

Below is a sample of some of the modules that you might expect to study at each level of the BEng Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year degree (it should be noted that these do vary from year to year):

Development of Key Skills for Engineers, Fundamentals of Materials, Basic Engineering Analysis, Foundation Chemistry, Engineering Science, Electricity and Magnetism, Mechanics, Thermofluid Mechanics, AI, Machine Learning and Data Analysis, Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics, and Fluid Mechanics.
