Program Overview
Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Engineering and Sciences
The Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Engineering and Sciences is a preparation programme for international students who don’t meet the direct entry requirements for an undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde. This pathway will prepare you for your chosen undergraduate degree at the Faculty of Engineering or Faculty of Science. Once you successfully complete the programme, you will progress to the second year of a four-year undergraduate degree.
You will study three core modules that will focus on general skills useful in your progression degree, plus route modules specific to your academic area.
Once you have completed the Undergraduate Foundation Programme, and subject to satisfying the progression criteria, you can proceed to the second year* of your four-year degree at the University.
Leading to: Sports Design Engineering BEng (Hons)
Sports Design Engineering concentrates on the conception, design and manufacturing of sporting equipment. Sports engineers work in nearly every sport, creating designs that meet specialised specifications to improve athlete performance, safety and sports product durability.
For example, sports engineers could be involved with projects as diverse as designing new high specification football boots or fitness monitoring and improvement products, match and playing surface analysis equipment to developing image processing algorithms which act as analytical tools to determine strategic instances in a game.
The background our students gain in biomechanics also makes careers in medical device development and design a viable career route which is an exciting area due to the new and emerging sports and widening participation in sports for example prosthetics and guidance for partially sighted.
A sports engineer requires expertise in many technical skills; from engineering design to understanding biomechanics of human movement, technology concepts to production techniques. This is integrated with manufacturing processes, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design and production process into reality which is fundamental to global market success.
