Course summary
You can choose to study this course in Coventry, London or Scarborough. The foundation year introduces you to mathematical and engineering principles, as well as electrical and mechanical engineering theories. Foundation year Studying to be an engineer and gaining the right skills and the right qualifications, could see you enjoy frequent travel, passion projects and a fulfilling career. A strength of this course is the chance to prepare for a career in Electro-Mechanical Engineering, without following a more traditional route to a degree. Degree Engineering is a combination of science and technology that is concerned with solving complex problems, such as machinery, infrastructure, design and many more. Practitioners of this discipline are capable of working on significant global issues such as the effects of climate change or improving city infrastructure. Engineering empowers you to combine creativity with precision on a daily basis. The Electro-Mechanical BEng (Hons) degree can offer you broad and diverse career options, including transport, power, vehicle, systems, design, manufacturing, mechatronics, renewable and mechanical engineering. Alongside possible international opportunities, you may get the chance to conduct critical research with our experienced staff, learn from skilled guest visitors and take part in an invaluable placement year2. Your first year on the Electro-Mechanical Engineering with foundation year BEng (Hons) course provides you with opportunities to develop fundamental knowledge and skills in a range of mathematical and engineering principles, as well as the theories and concepts of electrical and mechanical engineering. When you successfully complete your foundation year, you can then progress onto the Electro-Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons), which could offer you broad and diverse career options, including transport, power, vehicle, systems, design, manufacturing, mechatronics, renewable and mechanical engineering (subject to meeting progression requirements). If you choose to leave this degree course after successfully passing Year 1, you will be eligible for a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Electro-Mechanical Engineering. If you choose to leave this degree course after successfully passing Year 2, you will be eligible for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Electro-Mechanical Engineering. The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year 1 of the degree onwards will be from the Coventry University campus.
