You enrol at the outset for the full five year duration of an extended degree, but can delay your choice of a specific course until the end of the Foundation Year. You should use this if you are undecided about your eventual choice of degree course. However, if you wish to apply for a single named course, then you should use the appropriate Extended Engineering UCAS code for that course, as published in the UCAS Guide. The year emphasises the development of competence and confidence in the use of fundamental mathematics and physics relevant to the study of engineering. The teaching of these subjects is supported by considerable tutorial work.
Assessment is through a mix of coursework, laboratory work, and examinations.
