This qualification is only acceptable when combined with Advanced Higher grades AA including Mathematics and Physics

Advanced Higher grades AA including Mathematics and Physics plus Higher grades AAABB

Applications are assessed on an individual basis. Where an offer is made, our standard requirements are:Pass Access to HE Diploma with 45 credits overall, 36 Level 3 credits at Distinction including 15 Mathematics credits and 15 Engineering/Science credits, plus 9 Level 3 credits at Merit.

Including D3 in Mathematics and M1 in Physics (preferred) or Further Maths as a second subject, or Maths with any two of the following: Chemistry, Biology, Design, Economics, Psychology, Electronics, Computer Science.

If you have already achieved your EPQ at grade A you will automatically be offered one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject. If you are still studying for your EPQ you will receive the standard course offer, and an alternative offer, with a condition of one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject if you achieve an A grade in your EPQ. If you qualify for a contextual offer, your EPQ will be taken into consideration and the appropriate adjustment will be made to your offer. Please note that if you qualify for an enhanced contextual offer, your EPQ will not be taken into consideration as we are unable to make any further adjustments to your offer.

BTEC Diploma in Engineering D*D + A in A Level Maths

BTEC Subsidiary Diploma/ National Extended Certificate D + Maths grade A and Physics/Further Maths grade A"

Extended Diploma in an Engineering subject: As part of the application process BTEC applicants without A level Maths who are predicted D*DD will receive an invitation to attend an interview with an academic member of staff.The meeting will assess applicants’ mathematical capability alongside their ability to build on their potential if they start straight into a course where their current maths preparation is not as rigorous as those holding other specific Mathematics qualifications. For many BTEC applicants the best route into an engineering degree is via a foundation course.The meeting, along with the UCAS application, will be used to help us decide whether we feel it is in the best interest of the applicant for us to make an offer for the applied-for course or be recommended to the foundation year. Our primary objective is to ensure that our students are fully prepared for year one to maximise the likelihood of achieving their study goals with us.For those with lower predicted grades, applications will be considered for entry onto the foundation year.For those considered for year one entry, our typical offer is as follows: RQF National Extended Diploma - D*DD including Distinction in units Engineering Principles, Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems and Further Engineering Maths.

A level mathematics also required. For applicants with T Level qualifications without A level mathematics the Foundation Year (H100) is recommended.

Accepted and graded equally to A Levels
