Electrical Engineering with Foundation Year

A foundation year is provided, on a University-wide basis, for students with inappropriate prior qualifications or to mature candidates. Essentially, for Electronic and Electrical Engineering, this provision is for students who do not possess Physics or Mathematics A-levels (or equivalents) but who have displayed adequate proficiency in their previous courses of study and examinations. It must be stressed that this in not a remedial route for those students who have studied for but not attained sufficiently high grade in Mathematics or Physics A-levels, for example.

The module structure of the foundation year is

1. PMA008 (Mathematics I)
2. AMA008 (Mathematics II)
3. PHY001 (Heat and Matter)
4. PHY002 (Waves and Electricity)
5. CHM001 (Foundations of Chemistry I)
6. CHM002 (Foundations of Chemistry II)

On successfully completing the foundation year, students may progress to Year 1 of their chosen degree.
