Cardiff Broad Based Engineering
Headstart at Cardiff will give you a good insight into the variety of engineering by examining degree schemes available at Cardiff, i.e. Architectural, Civil, Environmental, Integrated, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic, and Medical Engineering, as well as an introduction to university life. You will be housed in one of the university Halls of Residence and have access to university sporting facilities. The Cardiff course is designed to sample different engineering disciplines by -
- Introductory presentations on each of the degree schemes
- A choice of hands-on laboratory sessions to explore practical principles in engineering
- A choice of visits to engineering firms / construction sites to see engineering at work
- Group-based design, build and test projects
During the course, you will have tours of the facilities in the School and the Student’s Union and opportunities to meet and question Admission Tutors. Postgraduate students will join the course in the social activities, and they can explain at first-hand the undergraduate student’s life.
There will also be a presentation from a recent graduate to show what life can be like soon after graduation. Social activities include various sports, bowling and a course dinner. |
