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


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)


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


All our engineering courses are accredited or, in the case of

new courses, in the process of accreditation

High Quality Accredited Courses


• 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

What makes us distinctive…..

Industrially owned modules, integrated and assessed professional and soft skills development


Content









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!
