Subject Specific Modules

The module continues the development of the mathematics most relevant to engineers to extend students’ appreciation of the ways in which more advanced mathematical techniques aid problem solving and scenario modelling.

You are introduced to the basic principles, terminology and conventions of static mechanics and equipped to apply basic solid mechanics principles in the analysis and design of elements of engineering structures.

This module introduces you to fundamental principles, terminology and practical aspects of fluid mechanics. It equips you to apply basic theory to solve simple examples of fluid mechanics systems

You are introduced to thermodynamic principles of energy transfer involving heat, work, mass and general energy analysis covering concepts of heat transfer and its control with use of diagrams to represent thermodynamic properties and processes. You will use mathematical methods to analyse a system to estimate properties and results.

This module provides an understanding of the principles, terminology, and applications of electrical and electronic systems by providing an extended understanding of electrical circuits, components and instrumentation. It also introduces analogue and digital electronics and software for application in measurement and control systems.

This module provides you with an understanding of the principles, terminology, conventions and applications of the mechanics of machines and systems. You will apply the principles of classical mechanics to mechanical machines and systems to understand their operation and analyse their design.

This module provides an understanding of the basic principles, terminology and applications of control systems by introducing programmable controllers for engineering applications. It also develops logic and coding language skills for a common microcontroller and prepares students for further study of control systems engineering and related applications within industry.

This module introduces the skill sets required for the use of engineering design software packages. You will experience 2D and 3D design software applied to both the design process and as an embedded feature in development of products and systems. You will develop the use of major engineering software tools for use in engineering applications and across enterprises, preparing you for modern engineering within industry.

This module introduces, and appreciation for, manufacturing techniques and product fabrication methods. This includes background research of manufacturing techniques and processes used in product development, from a critical perspective (e.g. comparison of aluminium and carbon-fibre chasses) and a practical design and fabrication project, where the you will work in groups to use CAD software (e.g. AutoCAD) to design, assemble and test mechanical systems.

Continuation degrees

As DMUIC is situated in England’s most vibrant and multicultural city, I had the opportunity to make friends from different countries. The most amazing thing was that the DMUIC staff including all teachers and the office persons were very motivational and welcoming. They provide the best routes for study to every individual.”

Syed Asim Pakistan , De Montfort University International College (DMUIC)

I’ve enjoyed studying at DMUIC, the tutors are excellent and have helped me settle into life as a university student. They are also really supportive and have helped myself and other students with other issues outside of the classroom such as accommodation.

Nafisa Bangladesh , De Montfort University International College (DMUIC)

I have successfully progressed onto my degree course at the University of Bradford because of UBIC's reliable policies and teaching programme. To the new students, those who just started their foundation at Bradford International College, I must say you are going to pass the class, the only thing required is your attention and leave the rest on UBIC's staff because they are the one that are going to lead you to a brilliant future as it is a pathway to success.

Shoaib Pakistan , University of Bradford International College

I have a lot of international friends here at BUIC, and I’ve learnt so much from them. There is always a lot to do together both on and off-campus.

Sagar Nepal , Bangor University International College (BUIC)

I would recommend UGIC because it is based on the main University of Greenwich campus, a cosmopolitan university. At UGIC, there are students from all around the world, and I've made a lot of friends from exciting places."

Gozel Turkmenistan , University of Greenwich International College

I think one of the main reasons the IIM (pre-masters) has been so helpful is because the staff are so supportive and are always able to help me. Whether it is understanding a module or finding out how to sort accommodation, they will help you with everything. I’ve enjoyed studying at Bangor, the people are friendly, and the environment is also really peaceful and safe. It’s given me the best opportunity to succeed in my studies here in the UK.
