Integrated Engineering (MEng) with Foundation Year

Start your accelerated MEng studies with our Foundation Year

Our Foundation year, taken over the course of one full academic year, will see you develop the key transferable skills and subject-specific knowledge needed to continue into NMITE's Master's Integrated Engineering, without the need to reapply.

If you did not get the results you were hoping for, are thinking of a change in career, or if you did not follow traditional routes into Higher Education then beginning your degree with a Foundation Year may be the right choice for you.

• Develop hands-on, practical skills throughout your study with experienced academics, and employers from industry to guide you along the way

• You'll gain the ability to integrate, synthesize, apply and gain knowledge, with an awareness of social and ethical responsibilities

• Learn to identify problems that need solving, and to find creative solutions to society’s challenges

• Receive support, whenever needed - 1:1 support through your allocated Personal Tutor, 24/7 access to the Academic Skills and Knowhow Centre, and Student Services

• Employer and community driven module learning - each has been designed with insight either from industry, or our community

• The NMITE MEng has been designed to satisfy the necessary educational standards for the award of Chartered Engineer by meeting the requirements of the Engineering Council Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes

Foundation Year

Creativity and Fundamental Engineering Skills - Explore the range of technical and non-technical skills required within engineering and technology including laws of physics, principles mathematics, communication, collaboration and digital skills.
Engineered Structures and Mechanisms - Investigate different types of engineered objects and how they work. You'll carry out tests, and work with models of real structures and moving artefacts.
Engineering and Technology as Problem-solving - Develop your understanding of how engineering and technology fit within a wider societal context, through the solving of a systems-based problem.
Engineering and Technology Project - Apply your learning across the year to an individual project, finding out about various engineering and technology disciplines and the roles they play in different industries and business sectors.

We believe that your assessment should be as reflective of a real workplace as possible and that means no traditional exams. Instead, our assessments take the form of in-studio quizzes, presentations and debates, display of artefacts you’ve developed and built, industrial reports, development of specifications, test reports and project plans, creative media presentation and general question and answer sessions where your participation and knowledge can be assessed.
