Standard Qualification Requirements

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

Access Qualifications in a relevant area of engineering or physical science. Must include 45 Level 3 credits at Distinction. At least 15 level 3 credits must be in mathematics (including integral and differential calculus). GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics not offered at a higher level.

AAB at Advanced Higher including Mathematics and at least one of Physics, Chemistry or another Mathematics. Higher Physics or Chemistry 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.

34 points with Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry at Higher Level grade 6 or above. Physics required at Standard Level grade 5 or above if not offered at Higher Level.

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

•If you already have, or are taking, the A level (or equivalent) Maths and Science qualifications specified in our entry requirements, you should apply for stage 1 (First Year) entry of the engineering degree course in which you are interested •If you have a Maths qualification but will not have it at A level (or equivalent) when you start your degree, you should apply for the relevant degree with Foundation Year. We may give you the opportunity to take the Newcastle University Pre-Entry Maths Course* and the option to start in First Year if we think that this will be the best route for you
