拥有基础课程的化学工程课程可为尚未学习正确学科或未达到所需资历的学生（可能由于疾病，家庭问题或其他承诺）进入我们的任何化学工程课程。通常，不会仅仅因为其A级成绩/预科课程低于直接进入学位课程的要求而向那些应聘者提供报价。该课程为期一年，只要满足相关进阶条件，您就能进入化学工程专业。在这一年中，您将学习“应用数学，物理，化学”以及“工程科学或生物材料”方面的模块。完成预科课程可能是您获得整体学位成功的真正原因。它不仅为那些以前看起来已经关闭的课程打开了大门，而且为奠定成功的学术生涯奠定了坚实的基础。许多完成
This course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their sporting commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers. Completing a foundation year will enable you to progress onto the main Chemical Engineering degree programmes, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. Our foundation course is taught in-house by University staff including specialist Foundation teaching staff. As a student on the course you will be a full member of the University, with the same access to the Students' Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments. You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, labs and tutorials. During the year you will undertake modules in Applicable Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and a choice of Materials with Engineering Science or Biology Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to your overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation year have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into University life.
