Standard Qualification Requirements

To include Maths and a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)

From a minimum of three A Levels. General Studies not accepted.

Equivalent of 112 UCAS points which must include Maths or Science in Advanced Highers with a grade C.

Equivalent of 112 UCAS points. All Maths and Physics units must be level 3 and Distinctions

Must include Grade 5 in Maths & Physics subject at Higher Level. English Language required at 5 Standard Level or 4 Higher Level.

BTEC should be in an Engineering-related subject.

T Levels T Levels are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other further education courses. T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher education and/or apprenticeships. Students who study T Level spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action. T Levels are the equivalent to three A levels and we recognise the UCAS tariff points they attract in line with other qualifications that aid progression to higher education.
