Course description
Foundation degrees bring together employers, universities and colleges to design and deliver courses that target specific employment sectors. They provide the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in today’s workplace.

After successfully completing the foundation degree, you can continue your part-time study to gain a BEng honours degree.
The course is supported by Network Rail, London Underground and the industry main contractors.
