English Language Preparation + 2-Semester Pathway - International Year One - Engineering - Transfer to Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Enhance your English and start your Engineering degree at the University of Sussex. Apply now for our 2-Semester Pathway program for international students!

Program Description The English Language Preparation program is a chance to improve your English language skills before beginning your pathway program. Applicants who obtain Academic IELTS for UKVI 5.0 overall (5.0 in all subskills including listening), will study the 1-Semester Pathway programme. Applicants who do not meet the 1-Semester Pathway programme IELTS requirements will be placed in the 2-Semester Pathway English language preparation course, so long as they have an overall IELTS score of 4.5 (4.5 in all subskills). Once the applicant completes the course, they may start the international year one. This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at the University of Sussex followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Sussex. In the International Year One programme, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program. International Year One in Engineering and Science will let you explore and begin to understand the power of science and engineering in the real world by studying relevant courses such as Programming and Systems Control, Mathematics for Computing and Engineering and Data Analysis and Modelling. While you begin to learn the technical and applied aspects of science and engineering you also are provided with a critical outlook and approach employers want in your chosen field. The Master of Engineering (MEng) option lets you specialise your degree with a range of options and provides you with the educational requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer. You will be trained to lead multidisciplinary teams in the development of complex systems, including in sustainable power generation, power-trains for automotive vehicles, and jet engines for aircraft propulsion. At Sussex, we undertake world-class research, which enriches your teaching. Our Dynamics, Control and Vehicle Research Group and the Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre, develop innovative concepts in vehicle technology and efficient aero-engines, among other things. You’ll study in our Future Technologies Labs that incorporate computer suites and new automation/robotics facilities. There is a dedicated manufacturing lab with state-of-the-art facilities such as CNC machines and 3-D printers. You'll be able to specialise in subjects such as CAD, computational fluid dynamics through optional modules and work on areas such as control, vibration, tribology, or aerodynamics through project work including Formula Student and Wind-driven car projects.
