Civil Engineering and Architectural Engineering with a Foundation Year

Program Overview

The Civil Engineering and Architectural Engineering with a Foundation Year program provides a supportive learning environment for students who need additional preparation for degree-level study. It offers a balance of compulsory and optional modules, taught by experienced university staff, and prepares students for careers in civil engineering, architectural engineering, and related fields.

Program Outline

• have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry,
• are mature students returning to education,
• or care leavers.

The program aims to:

• Prepare students for degree-level study in a supportive learning environment.

• Provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the fields of civil engineering and architectural engineering.

• Offer a foundation for a successful academic career.

The program is taught in-house by university staff and features:

• A streamed approach that allows students to progress to one of multiple courses within their chosen stream.

• A balance between compulsory and optional modules (which are pathway-dependent).

• The use of high-tech University spaces.

The program is placed within the Engineering, Maths and Physical Sciences stream, which includes:

• Aeronautical Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Automotive Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Bioengineering with a Foundation Year
• Chemical Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Civil and Architectural Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Computer Science with a Foundation Year
• Electronic and Electrical Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Materials with a Foundation Year
• Mathematics with a Foundation Year
• Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Natural Science with a Foundation Year (maths or physics major)
• Physics with a Foundation Year
• Product Design and Technology with a Foundation Year
• Product Design Engineering with a Foundation Year
• Sport Technology with a Foundation Year

Outline:

• University academics teach the modules, with significant experience in teaching in Higher or Further Education.

• The modules are reviewed annually and may be subject to future changes.

• Modules are taught within the same high tech University spaces as those studying undergraduate degrees.
