BEng Mechanical Engineering with foundation year

Nottingham Trent University

Course overview

To succeed as an engineer, strong mathematics and science skills are essential, which is why the foundation year focuses on these areas while also offering broader lessons. The BEng Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham Trent University emphasises creative solutions to real-world problems through live projects, hands-on experience, and optional modules.

Mechanical engineering involves the design and manufacture of components for large systems, and the programme adapts to recent technological advances like 3D printing, ensuring students are career-ready. Additionally, the course's flexibility allows students to shift to other engineering fields if mechanical engineering isn't the right fit after the foundation year.
