Standard Qualification Requirements

Mathematics and two science-based subjects required. General Studies not accepted

from a minimum of three A-Levels

Equivalent of 128 UCAS points which must include Maths and two Sciences at grade B.

Must include Grade 5 in Maths & two Sciences at Higher Level or above

BTEC in Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; BTEC in Vehicle Technology or Aviation Operations (must include Maths modules); BTEC in Aerospace/Aeronautical; BTEC in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (must include Maths module).

Equivalent of 128 UCAS points which must include Maths and two Sciences with minimum of H2.

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.
