Brunel’s Engineering Foundation Year is a one-year, full-time course that prepares you for the study of engineering at degree level. Foundation year students can progress to any of our accredited Engineering degree programmes having improved their maths and physics.
It’s an ideal choice if you don’t have the required qualifications to begin an engineering degree straight away or if you want to see if an engineering degree is for you. This engineering foundation course will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to join the first year of your chosen engineering degree.
You will learn about basic engineering principles and study subjects including engineering mathematics, physics, mechanics, and materials science. You’ll be introduced to concepts of electronic engineering and develop your verbal, graphic and written communication skills.
During your studies, you will benefit from well-equipped technical facilities including the structures and materials laboratory where you’ll use industry standard equipment for the testing of materials. The latest computing software is available for you to use in purpose-built computer laboratories.
There are two one-week project breaks during which you’ll work in a team to gain practical knowledge of control systems, designing models, analysing design, and calculating physical parameters.
After successfully completing your engineering foundation year – with the progression grades needed for your chosen engineering course – you will start the first year of one of Brunel’s engineering degree courses with the added benefit of an optional placement year:
- Aerospace Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Chemical Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Civil Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Computer Systems Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng (Hons)
- Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons)
