Course Overview

You will learn about basic engineering principles and study subjects including engineering mathematics, physics, mechanics, and materials science. You’ll be introduced to concepts of electronic engineering and develop your verbal, graphic and written communication skills.

During your studies, you will benefit from well-equipped technical facilities including the structures and materials laboratory where you’ll use industry-standard equipment for the testing of materials. The latest computing software is available for you to use in purpose-built computer laboratories.

There are two one-week project breaks during which you’ll work in a team to gain practical knowledge of control systems, designing models, analysing design, and calculating physical parameters.

Careers and your future

Qualified, skilled engineers are in demand - but in short supply - throughout the world. Brunel’s engineering foundation year is the first step on your journey to an exciting career in the engineering industry.

Many students progress from Brunel’s engineering foundation course to our accredited engineering degrees. They take up positions as highly capable engineers working for leading companies including Rolls-Royce, Airbus, GE Energy, Intel, Jaguar Land Rover and British Airways, to name a few.
