Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most fundamental engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems from tiny components to large-scale machinery and vehicles. It applies the principles of physics and materials science to problems that span energy, manufacturing, transport, aerospace, robotics, and many other sectors. Mechanical engineers are consistently among the most employable of all engineering graduates, and their skills are needed wherever physical systems need to be designed to work reliably and efficiently. At Swansea University, this four-year full-time programme includes an integrated foundation year that provides a thorough grounding in mathematics, physics, and fundamental engineering principles before you advance to the main degree curriculum. The programme does not just teach theory: it equips
