Entry requirements
Acceptable physical science subjects include Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Design Technology; Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers - We are happy to admit applicants on the basis of five Highers, but where we require a specific subject at A level, we will typically require an Advanced Higher in that subject. If you do not meet the grade requirement through Highers alone, we will consider a combination of Highers and Advanced Highers in separate subjects; GCSE requirements - Mathematics grade 6/B, English Language grade 4/C
3. Mathematics SL grade 7 (analysis and approaches) plus grade 6 in a HL Physical Science
2. Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grade 6 in two SL Physical Sciences
1. Mathematics HL grade 6 (either pathway) plus grad 6 in a HL Physical Science
2016 specifications: DDM in an Engineering related subject to include Distinctions in the following units – Unit 1 Engineering Principles, Unit 7 Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. Unit 8 Further Engineering Mathematics is highly recommended; BTEC in combination with A levels - Our typical requirement would be A level grade B plus BTEC(s) at DD, or A levels at grade BB plus BTEC at D, but you would also need to meet the subject requirements; International Baccalaureate - 32 points overall with 16 points from the best 3 HL subjects including either:
We normally require these grades: A levels - ABB. This should include Mathematics and a physical science subject, for example, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Design & Technology or Further Mathematics; Access to HE Diploma - Considered on a case-by-case basis. Our typical entry requirement would be 30 Level 3 credits at Distinction plus 15 Level 3 credits at Merit, but you would need to have covered appropriate subject content; Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wale - We accept the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales in place of one A level, or equivalent qualification, as long as any subject requirements are met; BTEC Extended Diploma - Pre-2016 specifications: DDM in an Engineering related subject to include Distinctions in Mathematics for Engineering Technicians and Further Mathematics for Engineering Technicians units.
