Brighton has one of the longest-running and most successful foundation courses in the UK. It is offered as an integrated foundation year on the following degrees:
- Aeronautical Engineering (with integrated foundation year) BEng (UCAS code: H415)
- Automotive Engineering (with integrated foundation year) BEng (UCAS code: H331)
- Mechanical Engineering (with integrated foundation year) BEng (UCAS code: H301)
- Digital Electronics, Computing and Communications (with integrated foundation year) BEng (UCAS code: HI61)
- Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with integrated foundation year) BEng (UCAS code: H606)
Applicants to the integrated foundation year degrees may have non-scientific A/AS-levels, or be mature students with alternative qualifications. Others may have studied relevant subjects but not met the degree entry requirements, or wish to upgrade their qualifications to meet those required for CEng-accredited courses.
Upon successful completion of the foundation year, students automatically progress to the first year of their chosen degree.
These degrees, incorporating optional work placement routes, offer graduates a breadth of excellent employment opportunities.
Professional accreditation
The integrated foundation year course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as a suitable pathway into the BEng(Hons) programmes at the university
Course structure
Lectures, laboratory classes, tutorials and seminars provide a varied learning environment.
The course runs in two parallel streams: a home stream and an EU stream. The home stream is for UK home students but may also include those from outside the UK who require no English language support. The second stream is for EU students who need to improve their English language skills in addition to their academic qualifications.
International students who require a foundation program and English language support should contact the University of Brighton’s International College. www.brighton.ac.uk/ubic
