Entry Requirements

📋 Academic Entry Requirements

A-Level

ABB

ABB* *If you have not taken the A-Level subjects required for first year entry to your chosen course, then you will usually need a Foundation Year. If you have studied all the subjects required for first year entry to your chosen course, then you will not normally be eligible for the Foundation Year. For example, if you want to study BEng Mechanical Engineering, you must not have already studied or be studying A-levels in both maths and physics. If you are studying maths but not physics or if you are studying physics but not maths, then you would normally be eligible to study BEng Mechanical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year. If you are studying three other subjects (i.e. not maths or physics) e.g. sociology, biology and geography, then you would normally be eligible to study BEng Mechanical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year. For further information please to refer our webpage, which lists the subject combinations that are not acceptable for entry to our Foundation Year. If you still need any help determining your eligibility for this course, please contact our Admissions Team.
