If your current grades don't meet the direct entry requirements for the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering program, you can begin with a foundation year. This additional year provides essential preparation to ensure your success in the degree program. It focuses on building your foundational knowledge in mechanics and mathematics - crucial subjects that form the basis of your engineering studies. During this year, you'll explore introductory topics related to the degree while enhancing your academic skills.
