2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Engineering, Computing and Science - Transfer to Master of Engineering (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering

Program Description This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre for the University of Huddersfield followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Huddersfield. In your international foundation year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon successful completion of the pathway program. The International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing & Science will provide you the skills and tools necessary for success in an undergraduate degree in more than 30 degrees, including a plethora of engineering degrees, computer science, music technology, forensic science and pharmaceutical science. During your time at the University of Huddersfield, you will study core subjects, as well as optional subjects that are intentionally designed for your chosen field of study. All of these skills will be key for future academic success at the University of Huddersfield. Mechanical engineers are vital in today’s modern world. They design, manufacture and operate a huge range of products and processes. From high-performance race cars through to lifesaving medical equipment, from railways to environmentally sustainable technology, none of this would be possible without mechanical engineers. So if you’re hoping for a career that puts you right at the heart of technological developments effecting all of society, this course could be the perfect start to change the world we live in. Successfully completing the MEng course allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the subject than the BEng course. It also means that you graduate with a Postgraduate level qualification, which can give you an advantage in the job market. This STEM course is designed to give you a thorough grounding in the principles and fundamentals of mechanical engineering. You’ll get involved in practical work, projects and problem-solving too. We’ll cover a range of topics within the subject, including mathematics, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and materials. You’ll be supported in developing your understanding of the value of mechanical engineering. We want to help you go on to become a leader in your chosen field. So during the final year of your integrated Master’s we’ll study modules relating to management. We take a broader view of the commercial aspects of the industry, and study finance for managers. We’ll also explore advanced analytical skills and give you the option to take a module in either new product development or dimensional measurement. It’s all about encouraging you to think strategically and develop your leadership skills.
