Entry Requirements
Minimum Offer Level
A-Level: A*A*A
IB Diploma: 42 points, with 776 at Higher Level
Other: See the University’s Entry Requirements page
Subject Requirements
You will need A levels/IB Higher Levels (or the equivalent) in:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Further Mathematics to AS or A Level if your school offers it
If you’re studying IB Higher Level Mathematics, we ask for Analysis and Approaches for this course.
A Level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged. If unavailable or you’ve recognised its desirability too late, we’d advise you to do as much additional pure maths and mechanics as possible, e.g. by studying advanced material or Further Mathematics AS Level. A Level candidates without Further Mathematics have a lower success rate than candidates with Further Mathematics to at least AS Level.
We will normally ask for an A* in Further Maths (or an A* in Maths if Further Maths is not being taken) and an A* in Physics.
Admissions Process
Written Work
None required.
Admissions Assessment
All applicants for Engineering are required to take the Engineering and Science Admissions Test (ESAT). You will need to complete Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2 and Physics. You must register in advance and take the test at an authorised assessment centre.
Please see the University’s admissions test page for more information.
Interviews
Two interviews of about 25 minutes each.
