Engineering Year Zero (Foundation) (H108)

The Engineering Year Zero course is designed for individuals who aspire to pursue a career in engineering but do not currently meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate degree. It is particularly suited to those returning to education, changing career paths, or entering higher education as mature students, offering a strong foundation to support their progression.

The course develops essential skills in science, mathematics, design, and IT, while also strengthening students’ confidence and academic capabilities. Students become part of a supportive academic community and benefit from access to specialist workshops and equipment, enabling practical, hands-on learning from the outset. Upon successful completion, students are able to progress directly to one of DMU’s BEng (Hons) or MEng engineering degree programmes, providing a clear pathway toward a career in engineering.
