Free Engineering Foundation Degree in Yeovil

Who this course is for

The Foundation Degree in Engineering aims to allow learners to develop the knowledge, understanding, cognitive ability, professional competence, and transferrable skills to progress into successful careers in the Engineering sector. Through a combination of pathway-specific and jointly-taught modules, learners will have the opportunity to build technical expertise in their chosen Engineering discipline, whilst developing the understanding of interdisciplinarity which is vital to the modern Engineering sector. A system engineering approach, reflective of contemporary sector practice, underpins all modules, and learners will have the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding across key themes of sustainable, digital, and autonomous engineering.The Foundation Degree includes three pathways - Aerospace, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering. Students will apply for their chosen pathway, and this will remain fixed for the duration of their studies; it will not be possible for students to switch between pathways once enrolled on their course. The three pathways are made up of a combination of common shared modules, and specialist pathway-specific modules, as appropriate.This course is available on a part-time basis, and is taught in-person at our Yeovil College campus. The part-time course is studied over 3 academic years, and students are typically timetabled for 1 day per week.
