Standard Qualification Requirements

ABB including Mathematics and at least one of Physics, Chemistry or Electronics and excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element. If Physics not offered at A or AS level, a minimum of grade B or 6 Physics or Dual Award Science GCSE is required.

In a relevant area of engineering or physical science. At least 30 level 3 credits at Distinction and 15 level 3 credits at Merit or higher. At least 15 level 3 credits must be in mathematics (including differential and integral calculus), and 30 credits should be in engineering and science subjects. Some applicants may also be required to pass a Newcastle University Mathematics and Statistics pre-entry course. GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics not offered at a higher level.

ABB at Advanced Higher including Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry. Higher Physics required at Grade B if not offered at Advanced Higher. Two Highers at the required grade (in different subjects to those offered at Advanced Higher) may replace a third Advanced Higher. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting.

We welcome applications from students offering an Extended Project and value the skills of research and independent learning that it is designed to develop. If you offer an Extended Project, it will be taken into account as part of your application profile, but we will not usually include it in offer conditions for this degree programme.

32 points with Mathematics at Higher Level grade 5 or above and at least one of Physics or Chemistry at Higher Level grade 5 or above. Physics required at Standard Level grade 5 or above if not offered at Higher Level

Candidates will be considered for Foundation Year entry only. Please see Engineering with Foundation Year for specific entrance requirements.

Candidates will normally only be considered for foundation year entry. Applications will be considered on an individual basis.

D3, D3, M2 in Principal Subjects including Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry. GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics is not offered at a higher level.
