Course description
Aerospace Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year is a one year programme designed to improve your mathematical and scientific understanding and skills to a level where you will be able to start a degree in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering in one of the following subjects areas:
- Aerospace Engineering, BEng
- Aerospace Engineering, MEng
- Aerospace Engineering with Industrial Experience, MEng
- Aerospace Engineering with Management, MEng
On the Foundation Year, you will study mathematics and physics. In addition, you will take modules in Academic Skills and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). You will also complete a group project, related to your intended degree programme and be supervised by an academic from your future Department.
Special features
- Students accepted from a wide range of educational and cultural backgrounds.
- High levels of academic and pastoral support.
- Successful completion guarantees a place on the first year of your chosen degree in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering.
- Teaching by highly experienced University academics, with a proven track record.

Teaching and learning
The programme embraces a variety of approaches to teaching and learning, including lectures, small group tutorials, seminars and project work. Particular strengths are the high level of staff contact and individual learning support, individual pastoral support, project work in engineering-based Departments and associated disciplines within the Faculty.
Your focus is the Foundation Studies Office, where staff provide day to day support. The dedicated Common Room offers you a place to study, prepare coursework, carry out work using the computers, or simply socialise. There is a strong sense of community within the student body and excellent tutorial support. Aerospace Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year is delivered on the University campus by University staff.
With strong links with the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, the environment for the study is essentially the same as for undergraduate study on degree programmes in engineering and associated disciplines. You will find that this assists greatly in easing your move into the first year of your chosen degree programme on successful completion of the foundation year.
Coursework and assessment
Assessment is based primarily on formal examinations at the end of each semester (in January and June). A smaller proportion of the overall assessment is based on coursework carried out throughout the academic year.
