Mechanical engineering that still includes a preparatory stage — separate from a direct bachelor’s start — is listed as the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year. Weekday classes run at the Greenwich campus (Bounty House), and the key facts show a January intake. The award type is an engineering bachelor’s, which keeps it apart from games computing and from logistics degrees nearby. Applicants are assessed individually against the Year Zero academic route published on the course information block. Pick the Bradford mechanical bachelor’s instead when you already meet year-one entry and do not want that preparatory stage. AF Education supports England-resident UK home students with free application help and Student Finance England checks.

How often you study
Full-time weekday study is listed at London. Most courses AF Education supports need 1 to 2 campus days a week, usually about 2 to 4 hours a day, so many students keep working. Your exact timetable is confirmed before you enrol.
Career and progression
AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. The degree aims to build knowledge and transferable skills valued across related roles.

About BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year
University of Greenwich International College lists a BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year. Study is full-time weekday at the Greenwich campus in London (Bounty House, Creek Road, SE8 3DE).
A foundation year attached to a mechanical engineering bachelor's can help applicants who need an entry pathway into engineering study before the honours stages.
Greenwich's riverside London campus is the sole site on this record. If you are comparing engineering foundation routes among AF Education partners, use this page for the UGIC mechanical pathway facts, then book an adviser conversation about eligibility, funding questions, and application timing. Support is informational; funding is never guaranteed on our pages.
Keep mechanical engineering separate from electrical, computer, or computing foundation courses at the same Greenwich college when you compare pages, and ask an adviser which engineering title matches your interests without relying on invented module marketing.
