What you will study

Alongside core modules, you will study subject-specific modules that will equip you with a foundation of knowledge for your chosen field of study.

International Year One at UGIC
Subject-specific modules

This module will provide you with sound knowledge and command of mathematics with an emphasis on engineering applications. The principal aim of this module is to develop your understanding of engineering mathematics to support as you progress through your course.

This module teaches the key elements of the design process and shows how design is an integrative subject that encompasses all disciplines of engineering. You will experience collaborative and individual design from problem formulation through to manufacture of a product.

This module seeks to provide you with the consolidation of fundamental principles in electrical/electronic science together with basic knowledge and understanding of common analogue and digital electronic devices. The emphasis, supported by laboratory experiments, will be to understand the operation of devices highlighting the practical use and application of these devices.

The aim of this module is to provide you with a clear understanding of the concepts of Mechanical Engineering. This is to be achieved by ensuring that you gain an appropriate background in the principles of Mechanical Sciences and their uses in the solutions of engineering problems.

This module aims to introduce you to Engineering as a profession and to require you to think about what this means in relation not only to the demands of the career in terms of knowledge, skills and creative thinking but also of how engineers work in terms of context, site or office environments both as individuals and as members of teams.

Supporting students to success

Learn more about what our students have to say when studying across our education network.

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.
