Course Description

The Foundation Year in Computing and Engineering is designed as an essential entry route for students who do not yet meet the standard entry requirements for degree-level study. This one-year, full-time course serves as a vital stepping-stone, allowing students to build the necessary academic confidence and technical skills before progressing directly onto a three-year computing or engineering degree at Middlesex University London. Throughout the year, students will study four core modules simultaneously, covering computing principles, academic research, mathematics, and a practical foundation project. This comprehensive approach ensures students are fully prepared for the rigours of higher education. By choosing this path, students gain access to specialist digital and wireless laboratories and benefit from local placement opportunities that help bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. Whether returning to education or seeking a fresh start, this course provides a supportive environment to explore interests and develop the fundamental competencies required for a successful career in the technology and engineering sectors.

The fee for the foundation year is £9,790 for UK students. The university reserves the right to increase undergraduate tuition fees in line with changes to legislation, regulation and any government guidance or decisions.
