Foundation Year Entry

If you are interested in studying any of the undergraduate degree programmes offered by the School of Engineering, but lack the appropriate science and maths background, our two Foundation Year Entry courses could be ideal for you. They provide the background knowledge and skills to allow you to progress into Year 1 of any of our undergraduate degree programmes.
