Bachelor of Engineering - Aeronautical Engineering with a Foundation Year (H411)

The Bachelor of Engineering - Aeronautical Engineering with a Foundation Year course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their sporting commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers.

Completing a foundation year will enable students to progress onto the first year of Aeronautical Engineering, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. The foundation course is taught in-house by University staff. They will be full members of the University, with the same access to the Students’ Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments.

Students will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. During the year they will undertake modules in Applicable Mathematics, Physics, Materials with Engineering Science and a choice of Programming with Electronics or Programming with Design. Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to their overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career.
