Engineering (with a Foundation Year)

About this course

Engineering is one of the most versatile and consequential of disciplines, concerned with designing, building, and maintaining the systems, structures, and devices that societies depend on. It encompasses mechanical, electrical, civil, and electronic engineering among many other specialisms, and it applies the principles of mathematics and physics to the challenge of solving practical problems in the real world. A foundation year in engineering is an important provision for those who have the aptitude and motivation for the subject but who need to update or fill gaps in the mathematical and physical sciences background that degree-level engineering requires. At the University of York, this four-year full-time programme opens with a foundation year specifically designed for those returning to education, or who did not study mathematics at A level, to update the mathematical and physics k
