The main features of the Foundation Year are the study of physics, mechanics and pure mathematics. However, you will be able to select some modules which relate more directly to your chosen specialism.
All students initially follow a common syllabus, covering all the core material required for further study in the engineering disciplines. In your study of mathematics, you cover algebra, trigonometry, calculus, vectors, statics and dynamics. In physics, your studies include topics such as electrostatics and electrical circuits, electromagnetism, and mechanics. There is a course in computer appreciation, including CAD; and you also undertake associated laboratory work.
In tutorials, you discuss material from the various courses and relate this to engineering practices and to the different engineering disciplines. Foundation-year teaching staff appreciate the problems which people coming from different learning backgrounds may face, and are there to offer help. After successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will be ready to progress to your main programme of study.
Your studies in the Foundation Year will give you an insight into the different branches of engineering, so that you can better select which engineering course you would subsequently like to study.
After completing the Foundation Year, you may progress either to the three-year full-time version of your chosen course, thus studying for four years full-time, or to the four-year sandwich pattern incorporating a year's placement, thus making it a five-year course in total.
The type of assessment varies according to the nature of the subject. The various methods include formal examinations, continuous assessment and coursework. Your laboratory work will also be assessed.
Engineering offers a secure, challenging and exciting career. The opportunities available to you as a graduate engineer are given at the end of the entries relating to each engineering discipline. Many of our foundation-year students have gone on to senior managerial positions in industry and commerce.
If you are offering any combination of GCE A levels, Vocational A levels, AS levels, and Scottish Framework qualifications, our standard offer is:
Approximately 120 - 180 points , depending on subjects offered and the engineering department chosen. You will need GCSE passes (grade C or above) in mathematics and a physical science.
For further and more detailed information on application and admission, including BTEC and other qualifications, please see the information here , and contact the Admissions Tutor for the courses in which you are interested.
Foundation-year entry is also offered for our courses in:
through the Informatics Foundation Year.
