Hey, I am starting an Engineering Foundation year next week, was asked to do this as I am a mature student and haven't ot the qualifications to get straight on to my degree.
I'll be doing my degree in astrophysics, so it is a but of a change, but the maths will be exactly the same. Algebra, Trig, Calculus etc.
I tried an engineering degree the OU and found alot of it uninteresting, and struggled with the whole distance learning stuff.
Anyway. looking forward to it anyway.
