The Foundation Year will allow you to develop your academic study skills and build confidence in your abilities, identifying your own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate programme. If you choose to study the placement year, as well as the foundation option, the course will span over five years.
What will I study?
This practical and hands-on 'ee' course incorporates innovation and creativity at every stage of learning. During your time with us you’ll gain an extensive knowledge and critical understanding of professional ethics, social and cultural values in engineering.
You’ll study the principles, characteristics, control design requirements and applications of instrumentation and power systems used in industry. During your time with us you’ll create, simulate, build and test prototype circuits and systems using printed circuit boards, MATLAB Simulink, LTSpice and electronic laboratory equipment.
Modules are centred around industrial systems, analogue, digital and power electronics with basic engineering. With a focus on sustainability, you’ll learn skills to help you identify and solve electrical engineering problems, whilst meeting the needs of the industry and the forward-thinking sector.
You’ll get to grips with industry-standard equipment including Zero Energy Systems, Power electronics, Machines and Drives, Industry 4.0, Mechatronic, Robotics, PLC and electro-mechanical rigs to provide real-time hands-on experiences
At all levels of the course, employability skills have been built into the programme to prepare learners to gain work experience and acquire skills to secure employment on graduating. These activities will include practitioner visits, CV preparation, mock interviews, and production of a personal portfolio. Throughout the course you’ll also have the opportunity to work on live briefs set by engineering employers, all of which can later be added to your portfolio.
Local to the University are high tech business clusters and with London only a short train ride away, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with representatives from industry during your course.
