ABB including chemistry. Applicants who have studied or are studying both maths and chemistry are not normally eligible for this Foundation Year. Please refer to BEng Chemical Engineering - H800 instead. If you have already achieved a grade A in Maths at A-level (or equivalent), but you do not have Chemistry at A-level (or equivalent) please refer to the BEng Chemical Engineering with Science Foundation Year - H804. For further information please to refer our webpage, which lists the subject combinations that are not acceptable for entry to our Foundation Year. If you still need any help determining your eligibility for this course, please contact our Admissions Team.
We normally consider applicants who offer at least 1 Advanced Higher. Applicants presenting with only Highers will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Where Highers are taken over two years it might be expected that higher grades are achieved, particularly in any specific subjects required. For example, S5 – S6 (2 years): AABBB (A in specific subject) or S6 (1 year): ABBBB (A in specific subject).Unless a more advanced level (Higher or Advanced Higher) is specified in the stated entry requirements, all applicants will be required to have achieved a pass in Mathematics and English at Standard Grade, Grade 3 or National 5, Grade C, the equivalent of GCSE Grade C/ Grade 4.We are committed to ensuring that all learners with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise a learner's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme.
Offers will be based on exams being taken at the end of S6. Subjects taken and qualifications achieved in S5 will be reviewed. Careful consideration will be given to an individual’s academic achievement, taking in to account the context and circumstances of their pre-university education. Please see the University of Southampton’s Curriculum for Excellence Scotland Statement for further information. Applicants are advised to contact their Faculty Admissions Office for more information.
60 credits with a minimum of 45 credits at Level 3 of which at least 30 credits, including all credits from graded maths modules, must be graded Distinction and the remainder must be graded Merit. We accept Science Level 3 Access courses only. Applicants should offer at least one maths module.
A typical offer for the IB is Pass with 32 points overall, with 16 points required at Higher Level including 5 points in Higher Level Chemistry. Applicants are also required to achieve 5 points in Standard Level Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation). Please note that we cannot accept the combination of subjects that make you eligible for direct entry to your chosen course e.g. taking both Mathematics and Chemistry at Higher Level. Please refer to our website for details about subject restrictions. Applications where Higher Level subjects have been studied without the full Diploma, will also be considered on a case by case basis.
A typical offer is DD in the BTEC National Diploma plus B in A-level Chemistry.We also normally require distinctions in both of the following modules: Further Engineering Mathematics and Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems modules. If you are not sure if your qualifications meet the requirements of this course please contact our Admissions Team.A pass in the associated A-level science Practical is required where applicable.
A typical offer is D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus AB in two A-levels, including Chemistry but not including Maths.If you have not taken the A-Level subjects required for direct entry to your chosen course e.g. maths and normally a second science subject at A-level, then you will usually need a Foundation Year. Please refer to our website for details about subject restrictions. Pass in the associated science Practical is required where applicable.
A Distinction, including a Core A grade, in either of the following T-levels: Digital Production, Design and Development or Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction
