Study modules
Academic English
This module introduces and develops your skills in academic reading, writing, listening and speaking. It deals with the structure of academic writing through the study of academic texts related to your field of study. by doing practical tasks, you will develop the skills to read and interpret academic texts and write academic assignments.
Engineering Science
This module introduces the fundamental principles of fluids and mechanics and describes how these can be applied in the engineering field. Students will study a wide range of topics such as fluid mechanics, dynamics and circular motion.
Mathematics for Science and Computing
This module will provide you with an understanding of the key mathematical topics relevant to science and computing including trigonometry, differential and integral calculus, logarithms, coordinate geometry, statistical concepts and methods and applications of probability.
Advanced Mathematics
This module provides an understanding of a number of topics including counting techniques, concepts of arithmetic and geometric series, vectors, complex numbers and their algebra, trigonometric and transcendental functions, linear algebra and numerical methods for solving equations.
Foundation Computing
This module aims to provide you with an overview of the systems and software development process, an understanding of programming paradigms and techniques, knowledge of the main components of a computer programming environment and programming constructs and an understanding of testing, verification and reproducibility of behaviour in computer systems.
