Description

The Engineering Academy is a collaboration between the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Kelvin College, other partner colleges and industry. It provides a pathway to BEng Honours or MEng-level programmes in an engineering discipline at Strathclyde University. The first year of the Engineering Academy programme is taken at college and you will study an enhanced HNC Mechanical Engineering course. If you successfully meet the course requirements, you will be guaranteed transfer to the second year of an undergraduate engineering degree at Strathclyde University in the following departments; - Civil and Environmental Engineering - Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management - Electronic and Electrical Engineering - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering - Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering. As an Engineering Academy student, you will be enrolled as a University of Strathclyde associate student from the start. During your first year you will be required to undertake a series of events and workshops at the university to ensure a smooth transition into the second year of your chosen engineering degree programme. As an Engineering Academy associate student you will also have access to a range of Strathclyde University facilities.
