Course Content
The foundation year is the first year of a four year BEng degree course (or five year MEng degree course) for those students who wish to study civil engineering at City University London, but do not satisfy the entrance requirements. Mathematics is a required subject, at AS-level or equivalent.
The course also suits mature applicants who need to update their technical knowledge and study skills. You will mainly be taught at Westminster Kingsway College, the University's partner further education institution, and will also attend City University London where you will have access to laboratory facilities, the library and Students' Union.
Course Structure
Teaching and Assessment
As a Foundation course student, you will take most of your classes at Westminster Kingsway College. Some laboratory classes are taken at City University London. A key element of the course is the tutorial support provided and the emphasis on the development of study skills. This makes it suitable for mature students who lack formal qualifications or who are returning to study after some years. There is some flexibility to change to a different engineering course after the foundation year, subject to the agreement of the course director concerned.
You may use the study and social facilities at both City University London and Westminster Kingsway College. Assessment is by a combination of formal examinations and coursework.
