Course summary

Mathematics and science – they’re the building blocks of a great engineer. That’s why they’ll be your focus during your foundation year, preparing you to move onto BEng (Hons) Sport Engineering in your second year. The sport engineering industry looks to help solve problems associated with sport, health and exercise. It is a relatively new but rapidly expanding area which is attracting large interest and investment from professional sports clubs, sportswear and equipment manufacturers as well as health and wellbeing app and wearable technology developers. On this course you’ll design and develop sport technology concepts and devices. You’ll be working on real projects set by organisations that could be looking at helping athletes get the most out of their training programmes, maximising sporting performance, or developing sport equipment and technology that gains advantages over competitors. We’ll give you the edge you need to be a confident, work ready graduate. By blending real-life scenarios and live industry projects, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to get hands-on. Want to change direction at the end of your foundation year? We can be flexible and support you if you want to move onto one of our other engineering courses in your second year.
