Program Overview
2. How you learn
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.
The course is suitable if you don’t meet the entry requirements for our BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering course, or you want extra preparation before starting degree-level study. You share the first year with other engineering, maths and physics foundation year students, then move on to the degree.
With online resources, industry-standard facilities and exceptional learning environments, you’ll be supported at every step. Throughout your studies you’ll gain highly-valued skills, knowledge and professional behaviours. By undertaking individual and group projects, you’ll learn how to solve industry-related problems using creativity, critical thinking, teamwork and communication.
You learn through
In the foundation year, you’ll study the fundamental maths, science and engineering principles that you’ll need at undergraduate level, and apply them to a range of different topics. You’ll learn through many of the same techniques used on the degree course, and familiarise yourself with Sheffield Hallam and its facilities — ensuring that you’re ready to hit the ground running.
