A levels
AAA. This should include Mathematics and a physical science subject, for example, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Design & Technology or Further Mathematics.
Access to HE Diploma
Considered on a case-by-case basis. Our typical requirement would be 45 Level 3 credits at Distinction, but you would need to meet the subject requirements.
Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales
We accept the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales in place of one A level, or equivalent qualification, as long as any subject requirements are met.
BTEC Extended Diploma
Pre-2016 specifications: DDD in an Engineering related subject to include Distinctions in Mathematics for Engineering Technicians and Further Mathematics for Engineering Technicians units.
2016 specifications: DDD in an Engineering related subject to include Distinctions in the following units – Unit 1 Engineering Principles, Unit 7 Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. Unit 8 Further Engineering Mathematics is highly recommended.
BTEC in combination with A levels
Our typical requirement would be A level grade A plus BTEC(s) at DD, or A levels at grade AA plus BTEC at D, but you would also need to meet the subject requirements.
International Baccalaureate
36 points overall with 16 points from the best 3 HL subjects including either:
1. Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grad 6 in a HL Physical Science
2. Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grade 6 in two SL Physical Sciences
3. Mathematics SL grade 7 (analysis and approaches) plus grade 6 in a HL Physical Science
Acceptable physical science subjects include Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Design Technology.
Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers
We are happy to admit applicants on the basis of five Highers, but where we require a specific subject at A level, we will typically require an Advanced Higher in that subject. If you do not meet the grade requirement through Highers alone, we will consider a combination of Highers and Advanced Highers in separate subjects. Please contact the Admissions team for more information.
T levels
Only accepted alongside A level Mathematics grade B. The following subjects accepted at Distinction overall, alongside A level Mathematics grade B: Design and development for engineering manufacturing; Engineering, manufacturing, processing and control; Maintenance, installation and repair for engineering and manufacturing. The following subjects considered on a case by case basis, alongside A level Mathematics grade B: Design, surveying and planning for construction; Building services engineering for construction; Onsite construction.
GCSE requirements
Mathematics grade 6/B, English Language grade 4/C
Additional requirements
You will typically be asked to attend an interview
English language requirements
