Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Programme: Mechanical Engineering
Course Details
Studying a Mechanical Engineering Foundation Programme in the UK provides students with a strong introduction to fundamentals concepts such as environmental design and mathematics, helping them build a strong foundation in preparation for an undergraduate engineering degree.
This programme equips students with foundational technical skills in computer-aided design (CAD), model making, and metalwork, creating a clear pathway to a BEng or MEng in Mechanical Engineering.
The programme runs for 1 year, offering students the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops and laboratory sessions, where they work on real-world projects, applying theoretical knowledge to practical engineering challenges.

Upon completion of a BEng/MEng degree, some students have gone on to work in a variety of roles, including roles such as mechanical engineers, design engineers, project managers, and consultants in major companies. A BEng in Mechanical Engineering can grant access to roles like:
-
Aerospace Engineer
-
Automotive Engineer
-
Mechanical Technician
-
Mining Engineer
-
Patent Engineer
-
Nuclear Engineer
