Overview

The Engineering with a Foundation Year BEng course from the University of East Anglia foundation year will enhance your academic skills and provide the knowledge base you need to progress onto your course with confidence.

The foundation year will prepare you as an engineering undergraduate at UEA. It combines a broad introduction to the key science underpinning the first year of the main degree with a tailored module developing your engineering skills and knowledge.

Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This is designed to provide you with a broad insight into the unlimited potential of engineering as a discipline. After the second year of your undergraduate course, you can tailor your studies to your interests, either keeping the broad-based approach or focusing more closely on mechanical, energy, or electrical and electronic engineering for your remaining years of study. You’ll have access to resources from other UEA Schools like Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so that your learning is limitless. You’ll also benefit from our state-of-the-art engineering facilities in Productivity East, including universal collaborative robots, 3D printers, and CNC manufacturing equipment. Our courses are accredited by professional bodies including the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
