Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Development

Teaching and Assessment Teaching Staff expertise We take pains to maintain our high level of teaching. Lecturers are at the leading edge of their fields and many are internationally and nationally recognised for their research work. They act as consultants for major companies, are often widely published and have good links with industry, so they know exactly what is going on in the commercial world. How will I be taught? As well as lectures and seminars, you will have workshops in maths and physics and two weeks devoted entirely to experiential learning. Maths and physics modules are supplemented by tutorials and laboratory classes to reinforce understanding of the theoretical work. We have a high staff-student ratio so you will receive excellent quality teaching. Student proctoring is also encouraged and makes a particularly important contribution to the progress of those weak in maths or physics. You will be allocated a personal tutor who is available to help you with any personal or academic problems during your course. Assessment Theoretical subjects such as maths, physics and engineering science are mainly assessed by formal written examinations. Skills-based subjects such as engineering projects and engineering drawings and communication are assessed by coursework, presentations and lab reports.
