Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering with foundation year

Mechanical engineers make a vital contribution to a variety of industries by developing, implementing and maintaining engineering solutions that ensure products are manufactured efficiently and to customer’s quality requirements.

The hands-on learning on and off campus and on-line on the course will prepare students to enter an engineering career with varied and exciting prospects. They could be involved in finding solutions to automate packaging processes for their favourite biscuits or using energy as efficiently as possible throughout a building. Wherever the course leads students, they'll be equipped with the skills they need to work as a mechanical engineer ensuring systems meet demand, are reliable, integrated and operate smoothly.

During the foundation year, students will develop their computing discipline knowledge, including programming, and they'll gain in confidence and skills to prepare them to study at degree level.

There is a strong practical element to this course, and students will spend a significant amount of time in workshops and laboratories using their enquiring mind and demonstrating their technical skills and creativity.
