The BEng Mechanical Engineering with Management will give you an excellent grounding in the knowledge and experience of the most fundamental of all engineering disciplines, preparing you for a variety of careers in engineering, technology, business and management.You will learn that engineering is not just about technology. It is about people, companies, manufacturing and commerce.Engineering decisions must normally be made within a commercial context and engineers are often found in senior management positions where they are required to be leaders and strategic planners, as well as problem-solvers and designers.Combining engineering with management, you will study a lively, interesting and multidisciplinary degree, with excellent career prospects for graduates.You will emerge from this degree as a well-rounded graduate with not only a solid engineering training, but also a useful insight into the commercial world. This will equip you for a wide range of careers, including general management and sales, as well as jobs in more technical fields.As in Mechanical Engineering BEng, in addition to core and optional units in the third year, you will also undertake a major individual research project.

AAA in three Scottish Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We will accept two Scottish Highers at grade AA in place of the third subject.Where English Language and Mathematics are not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher, they must have been achieved at SCQF Level 5 (minimum National 5 Grade C/Intermediate 2 Grade C/Standard Grade Credit level Grade 3).

AAA in three Scottish Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We will accept two Scottish Highers at grade AA in place of the third subject.Where English Language and Mathematics are not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher, they must have been achieved at SCQF Level 5 (minimum National 5 Grade C/Intermediate 2 Grade C/Standard Grade Credit level Grade 3).

Given that it is not possible to meet our published offer conditions within an Access course, we would not recommend an Access course as the best way of preparing for our courses. However, we would look very carefully at any applications from exceptional Access students who were on track to gain the AAA equivalent (45 credits at level 3 awarded at distinction). We would treat any such exceptional students on a case-by-case basis, looking very carefully at past academic history and the academic reference. A decision would be made about entry holistically on the basis of all information (including details of the course undertaken) and would usually be conditional on the above standard.

AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.

D2, D2, D3 with D2 in both Mathematics and Physics.We also consider applicants offering a mix of Pre-U Principal Subjects and A-Level subjects, provided a minimum of three distinct subjects overall are taken.The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunity it provides applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, please note a GPR qualification will not form part of your offer conditions.

The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunity it provides applicants to develop independent study and research skills.Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your application.

38 points overall with 7,7,6 at Higher Level, including 7 in Mathematics and 7 in Physics.We accept Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation.

We consider the Technical Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grades D*D plus A-level Mathematics at grade A*.

We consider the Technical Extended Certificate for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grade D plus A-levels in both Mathematics and Physics at grade A*.

We consider the Technical Extended Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grades D*DD plus A-level Mathematics at grade A*.

We consider the Technical Foundation Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grade D plus A-levels in both Mathematics and Physics at grade A*.

Grades D in a relevant subject plus A level Maths and Physics at Grade A.

We consider the National Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grades D*D plus A-level Mathematics at grade A*

We consider the National Foundation Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require Grade D plus A-levels in both Mathematics and Physics at Grade A*

We consider the National Extended Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require grades D*DD plus A-level Mathematics at grade A*

We consider the National Foundation Diploma for entry provided it is in a relevant subject. We require Grade D plus A-levels in both Mathematics and Physics at grade A*
