Typical entry qualifications (Year 1 entry)
• A-levels – BBC for Year 1 Entry to BEng / BSc (280 tariff points)– BBB for Year 1 Entry to MEng (300 tariff points)
• BTEC Extended Diplomas*– DMM for Year 1 Entry to BEng / BSc– DDM for Year 1 Entry to MEng
• ACCESS to HE– 30 L3 credits from science units (including mandatory science
subject), including 12 L3 credits in mathematics, awarded at merit or distinction
*But, students entering with BTEC qualifications struggle with mathematics!

Key subjects needed for admission (year 1 entry)
A-Levels or
equivalent
Maths
Food Science and EngineeringChemistry or Biology or
Nutrition or Applied Science or Food Technology
School of Science & Engineering
Typical entry qualifications (Year 0 entry)
• Year 0 delivers the fundamental subjects from roughly GCSE level up to A-level
• Suitable for students who – have not studied the relevant subjects at Level 3 OR – achieved low grades which are not acceptable for Year 1 entry
• GCSE Maths must be at grade B or higher (but can be flexible if strong grades are evident in the sciences)
• Basically, we admit students committed to work hard and have the potential to succeed!

Summer University (mid June – end July) – normally free!– can sometimes be used to ‘fill’ gaps in subject knowledge before admission to a degree course
• Foundation Mathematics
• Foundation Chemistry
• Foundation Biology
• Foundation Physics (engineering)
School of Science & Engineering
Most popular acceptable entry qualifications for admission with advanced standing (direct entry to year 2 or year 3 top-up degree)
• HNC – For direct entry to year 2– Must have good grade profile– Must include mandatory subjects
• HND or Foundation degree– For direct entry to year 2 of an accredited degree– For direct entry to a one-year top-up degree– Must have good grade profile– Must include mandatory subjects

To become a Chartered Engineer
• An accredited university honours degree in Engineering
(e.g. BEng + MSc or MEng)An individual holding an accredited MSc must also hold a CEng accredited Honours degree to have the full exemplifying qualifications for CEng
• Two years practical engineering training
• Two years professional responsibility
• Result: J Bloggs BEng(Hons) MSc(Eng) C.Eng, MIMechE
School of Science & Engineering
All our engineering courses are accredited or, in the case of
new courses, in the process of accreditation
High Quality Accredited Courses
School of Science & Engineering
• An individual holding an accredited MSc must also hold a CEng accredited Honoursdegree to have the full exemplifying qualifications for CEng
• Students without full exemplifying qualifications may be individually assessed for CEng registration – e.g. for students following the BEng Tech (Hons) + MSc route

2012- 2022:
• over this period engineering employers will need to recruit
1.82 million workers with engineering skills: pro rata, that is
an average of 182,000 people per year.
• Current figures show that only 108,000 people are entering
engineering occupations
• The jobs are out there – together, we need to supply the
engineers to fill them!
