BEng/MEng Electrical, Electronic & Mechatronic Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year / Entry requirements

Students are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits. Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide.

Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A level. Typically, we would be looking for:

Grades BBC where a student has 3 relevant subjects

Grades BBB where a student has 2 relevant subjects

Grades ABB where a student has 1 relevant subject

The subjects considered to be relevant are Mathematics, Further mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science. Electronics, Design & Technology, Engineering. If you are unsure whether you would be considered with your qualifications/predictions, we would encourage you to contact us before making an application.

In all cases we only offer places to applicants if we are convinced that they have the academic potential and the high level of motivation that is needed to be successful on the Integrated Foundation Year and on their chosen degree programme. To help us make our decision, applicants may be asked to attend an Academic Assessment.

Changes to International Baccalaureate Diploma Mathematics Courses from September 2019, first examination 2021. We are aware of the planned changes to the IB Mathematics curriculum. IB students will be able to choose from: Mathematics: analysis and approaches and Mathematics: applications and interpretation from September 2019.

For this programme of study we will accept either Mathematics: analysis and approaches or Mathematics: applications and interpretation at SL or HL.

All applicants to the University (from the UK and Overseas) are required to show evidence of English Language proficiency.  

Home students are required to achieve a GCSE in English Language at grade C/4, or an acceptable  equivalent qualification  .

Overseas students are required to evidence an IELTS with an overall score of 6.0, with no less than 5.5 in each component.  

The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires that every student from outside the UK must show evidence of a minimum level of English Language in order to be granted a UK visa (Student Route visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This level is often referred to as the 'B2 level'.

Some English Language test results are only valid for two years. Your English Language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.
