Course Overview

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience, and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people worldwide. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change. Professional engineers have a high degree of specialist knowledge, but increasingly, they use a broad approach to problem-solving across various engineering disciplines. This is coupled with an awareness of the environmental, social, legal, economic, and regulatory aspects of the problem. Whether you study for the BEng or the MEng, your General Engineering degree will equip you for a career in modern industry and commerce where a broad understanding of the subject is paramount.

General Eligibility

A/AS-levels: ABB including Maths and Physics. Other Physical Science subjects may be considered—two AS-levels considered in place of one A-level. General Studies accepted.

EPQ with A-levels: BBB + EPQ at grade B. A-level subjects to include Maths and Physical Science at grade B.

GCSEs: Grade C/4 in the English Language.

BTEC Nationals: DDD in Engineering, including Further Maths at Distinction. If you don't have A-level Maths, you must take an additional Maths assessment test - please contact Admissions.

International Baccalaureate: Pass Diploma with 30 points, with grade 5 in Maths and Physics at HL. A minimum of 4 in the English Language is required if a grade of C/4 is not held at GCSE.

Access to HE Diploma: Pass Engineering Diploma with 45 credits at level 3, 30 of which are at Distinction. To include all level 3 Maths modules at Distinction. If you don't have A-level Maths, you must take an additional Maths assessment test - please contact Admissions.

T Levels: Distinction in Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing or Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control (plus Maths test).
