BEng (Hons) Engineering and Technology

This foundation year course sets you up for success if you don’t yet meet the entry requirements for one of our Bachelor's degrees in computing, engineering, surveying, maths or physics.

There’s more than one route to a degree, and missing out on the right grades the first time or beginning your studies as a mature student shouldn’t stop you from realising your potential. On this BEng (Hons) Engineering and Technology degree with foundation year, you’ll develop the maths, science and technology skills vital for studying at the degree level.

You’ll then move on to the first year of one of our Bachelor’s degrees.
