Electro-Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year

Study level:
Undergraduate

Course summary

Considered an art by many, engineering is a combination of science and technology that is concerned with solving complex problems such as machinery, infrastructure, design and many more.

This course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for building a career in the engineering sector if you are unable to follow the more traditional route onto a degree course.

The foundation year of the course provides you with opportunities to develop fundamental knowledge and skills in a range of mathematical and engineering principles, as well as the theories and concepts of electrical and mechanical engineering.

The Electro-Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) degree caters to the demands of the modern engineering workplace, encompassing the core engineering disciplines. This course aims to hone your skills in information retrieval, knowledge conversion, and effective application and evaluation.

Upon graduation, this course will likely open doors to a wide range of career opportunities encompassing transport, power, vehicle, systems, design, manufacturing, mechatronics, renewable, and mechanical engineering.

If you choose to leave this degree course after successfully passing Year 1, you will be eligible for a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Electro-Mechanical Engineering. If you choose to leave this degree course after successfully passing Year 2, you will be eligible for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Electro-Mechanical Engineering.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

Grades alone don’t tell us everything about your potential and your story. We use information from your application to assess achievements in your personal situation to support fair and equal access. For example, we consider where you live, your school, if you are a carer or a care leaver or have experienced disruption to your education.
We have different schemes that recognise this context that may result in a reduced offer by up to 24 UCAS points or equivalent.
