Overview

This page covers Mechanical Engineering across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by a professional institution at most universities, which is what counts later if you want chartered status.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
