Requirements

Our typical conditional offers are for two A* grades and one A grade at A-Level or equivalent. If you are taking four relevant A-Levels you may be asked for A*A*AA or A*A*AB. We don't usually require a Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP) or Advanced Extension Awards (AEA) in Mathematics.

If you're studying A-Levels or equivalent Maths and Physics are essential. Another A-Level in a relevant maths, science, or technology subject is also highly desirable. Appropriate subjects include: 

• Chemistry
• Computer Science
• Design Technology
• Electronics
• Further Maths.

Of these Further Maths is preferred. Many people applying to study Engineering take a fourth A-Level. The breadth of Engineering is such that 'contrasting' subjects like a modern language, Geography, or Economics can also be good choices.

A balance of vocational and academic subjects is also acceptable. Maths A-Level or its equivalent is still essential, but other science or technology A-Levels can be replaced by a suitable vocational qualification, such as a BTEC National Certificate or Diploma in an engineering discipline.

Written assessment

All applicants to study Engineering must sit the at an authorised assessment centre. You must register in advance to sit the ESAT, and the deadline for registration is 16 September 2024.

Please note that the registration process, including deadlines and test locations, is different from previous years.

Interviews

In 2024-25, we’ll be interviewing all shortlisted applicants virtually, with interviews taking place in December.

The interview process aims to assess your intellectual ability, potential, and commitment to the subject. Candidates are typically interviewed by at least three subject specialists, including the Director of Studies, and total contact time will be between 35-50 minutes in total. This could be in a single interview, or in two separate interviews. Further details will be made available to candidates closer to the time.

For your interview, your interviewers will expect you to have access to a device that will enable you to annotate shared documents online. This is because the interview involves real-time problem solving, where you will need to show your working as you tackle problems. In our experience, something simple like a  works well. We strongly recommend that you practise using your device in advance, to ensure you can write clearly, legibly and quickly using it.

If you do not own a tablet and stylus, we encourage you to speak to your school/college to see if a suitable device is available to borrow. If you are having difficulty sourcing a suitable device, please contact the Admissions Office.

International applicants

We mostly refer to A-Levels and the International Baccalaureate for our entry requirements, but we accept a wide variety of qualifications from all over the world. The University website lists the . We expect students to be on track to achieve the highest grades in whichever qualification system they are studying. See our dedicated page for international students for more information.

Deferred and post A-Level entry

We positively encourage deferred entry for Engineering. A gap year can be very beneficial, for example if you gain work experience in industry. Many students obtain sponsorship that provides industrial experience prior to university, vacation work placements, and financial benefits. The  scheme provides pre university work experience for potential engineers.

You can find out more information about gap years and industrial sponsorship on the .
