Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Engineering in its broadest sense is the discipline of applying scientific and mathematical knowledge to design, build, and improve the systems, structures, and machines that make modern civilisation possible. Whether the focus is civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, or another branch of engineering, the fundamental approach is the same: identifying a problem, understanding the relevant science, designing a solution, and testing it against real-world constraints. Engineers are problem-solvers who operate at the intersection of theory and practice, and the demand for engineering graduates is consistently strong across an enormous range of industries and contexts. At Newcastle University, this programme begins with a foundation year, providing an introductory grounding in the mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles that underpin degree-level study. The foundation year is
