You will study introductory modules in applied mathematics, engineering mechanics and science required for the later years of your engineering degree. You will begin to learn to conduct and analyse engineering experimental work and to use relevant computing software. You will also be introduced to fundamental communication and study skills.
Each module is designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and specific transferable skills appropriate for entry to Year 1 of your chosen engineering degree course.
Please note: for student funding purposes, this is not a separate, stand-alone course, but is designed to form an integral part of a BEng(Hons) or MEng(Hons) degree.

About this course
This course is ideal if you'd like to study one of Kingston's engineering degrees, but need a preparatory period of study beforehand.
It provides an alternative entry route if you are a mature student with non-standard entry qualification or have not studied maths or science before. If you have the ability and motivation to succeed on your chosen degree course, the foundation year could be for you.
The curriculum covers the engineering knowledge and study skills you will need for your degree. You study:
applied mathematics and science;
business issues; and
communication and IT.
You also learn:
the basic techniques you'll need to use our extensive engineering laboratory facilities; and
how to collect and analyse data in engineering experiments.
We offer plenty of "kit" to get your hands on - from rapid prototyping software to a satellite global positioning systems.
Once you have completed this course, you can join a BEng(Hons) or BSc(Hons) engineering degree of your choice at Kingston University in the fields of aerospace engineering, civil engineering, construction management, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering or motorsport engineering, dependent on satisfactory grades.
