Foundation Entry

Learn modern, sustainable and energy-efficient engineering systems for built environments on an industry-respected Building Services and Sustainable Engineering course.

You’ll graduate with the ability to analyse, evaluate and ultimately solve problems associated with the built environment and building services engineering.

Study areas include engineering services systems, controls and plant, energy efficiency and sustainable design, and project, resource and energy management. The development of new technology and engineering solutions within the constraints of sustainability, safety, economy and the law, pose the challenge in this course.

The course is a good start for engineers wanting to continue their academic development by studying for a higher degree. Full-time students can spend an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry between Year 2 and Year 3.

Why study with us

Learn about new sustainable building design concepts, opening up career opportunities for alternative specialisms.
Benefit from three residential workshops across the globe: local, USA ASHRAE Conference and Hong Kong.
Benefit from the latest high-quality equipment and facilities available in our new £35m Engineering Innovation Centre.

A three-year BEng degree qualification typically comprises 360 credits and each 20 credits (a standard module) equates to 200 hours of study. You can then choose to undertake an additional year of advanced study and graduate with an MEng (Hons) degree instead (this normally takes four years to complete in all, or five years with an industrial placement).

Modules comprise a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions and independent study.

Independent study is an important aspect of your degree course. The exact combination of study time will be detailed within your module descriptors, and will depend on your options.

We have links with design consultancies and local contractors as well as smaller companies in the region and offer help and assistance to more than 1,000 of these. With many of our graduates staying in the region, it is important we develop these relationships.

Depending on the learning outcomes and the nature of the module, assessment can be:

By completion of assignments and problem-based examinations in engineering and related modules throughout the programme.
By presentations and design-based projects.
By student presentations, group work, design projects, dissertation, examination.

Since 1988, this course has held strong relationships with industry, predominately around Lancashire, Merseyside and Manchester.

Consultants, contractors, suppliers and maintenance management companies contribute to the course through seminars, guest lectures and course development.

Our team are always in communication with formal industrial panels to keep up with new technologies, innovations and practices.

The course is also delivered and validated by our team at universities in Hong Kong.

Progression onto MEng course

After completing three years of full-time study you’ll have the option to graduate with a BEng (Hons) degree (it will take four years to reach this stage if you choose to go on a 48-week industrial placement in-between Years 2 and 3). Or you can choose to undertake an additional year of advanced study and graduate with an MEng (Hons) degree instead (this normally takes four years to complete in all, or five years with an industrial placement).
