Course Overview

This Foundation Year has been designed to give you a solid basis for studying within the School of Computing and Engineering. Perhaps you're fascinated by engineering but have never formally studied the subject. Or you may have decided on a career change. It could also be ideal if you do not have the usual academic qualifications to look at a degree level. The Foundation Year isn't a stand-alone course. Still, it makes up the first year of your studies leading to a BEng or MEng degree in our Automotive, Digital Manufacturing, Electronic, Electrical, Engineering Design, Energy, Mechatronics, Medical Technologies, or Mechanical Engineering courses at Huddersfield. You can also progress to our Music Technology courses, Mathematics BSc(Hons), and Computer Science courses. To move onto a degree, you must gain an average mark of 40% and have passed each component of your Foundation Year.
