Are you one of the many people who would like to become an engineer but do not have the right qualifications? If so, at the Cardiff School of Engineering we have a course which might suit your needs. The course is called the Foundation Year and is specially designed to give you the necessary basic knowledge to enable you to cope with an engineering degree scheme.

In 2010, 89% of the School’s graduates were in employment or engaged in further study within six months of graduation. Our graduates occupy key positions in leading firms where engineering skills are required, such as Halcrow, Atkins, BP, RWE npower, Mott McDonald, Network Rail, Tata Steel, and beyond. Our graduates have also moved on to work within local and national governments, UK and international utility companies and organisations such as Climate Energy and GlaxoSmithKline. Being at the forefront of engineering research means that Cardiff has excellent links with industry and the School is scrutinised by a panel of top industrialists on a regular basis. In addition, numerous links have been developed with companies, both in the UK and overseas, through our Year in Industry programmes and through consultancy and advisory work by staff. You can be confident therefore that Cardiff’s School of Engineering has an ethos which is entirely focused on providing you with the knowledge, experience and connections to succeed in your chosen career.
