Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Engineering with a Foundation Year] From Cardiff University

Although the Foundation scheme lasts forÊone year, it must be considered as an entry route to one of our degree courses. It is not a stand-alone year, but the initial part of a programme of study leading towards a BEng or MEng degree.ÊOnce you successfully complete the Foundation Year you will progress to the first year of your chosen degree course, as long as you achieve an average of at least 50%.

The course is designed to expose you to the broad spectrum of engineering disciplines through lectures, tutorials and case studies. These include aspects of mathematics, physics and information technology that are relevant to engineering. The practical nature of the course contrasts with the way such subjects may have been presented at school. Assessment is by project work, continuous assessment and end-of-semester examinations.

When you have successfully passed the Foundation Year you can choose which Engineering specialism you are most interested in and you will join the first year of that course.
