Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most fundamental of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems ranging from miniature sensors to large industrial machinery. It draws on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, dynamics, and design, and its graduates are involved in developing everything from automotive and aerospace systems to medical devices, renewable energy infrastructure, and robotics. At the University of Salford, this four-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year, providing a structured and supportive introduction to the mathematical and scientific foundations of engineering before the main degree, making it an accessible route for students who need to build their confidence in these areas. The foundation year develops your knowledge of mathematics, physics, and engin
