MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year

Mechanical Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year is a one year programme designed to improve your mathematical and scientific understanding and skills to a level where you will be able to start a degree in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering in one of the following subject areas: Mechanical Engineering, BEng Mechanical Engineering, MEng Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Experience, MEng Mechanical Engineering with Management, BEng Mechanical Engineering with Management, MEng On the Foundation Year you will study mathematics and physics. In addition, you will take modules in Academic Skills and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). You will also complete a group project, related to your intended degree programme and supervised by an academic from your future Department.

A-level
Students are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits. Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide.

Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A level. Typically, we would be looking for:

Grades BBB where a student has 3 relevant subjects
Grades ABB where a student has 2 relevant subjects
Grades AAB where a student has 1 relevant subject
The subjects considered to be relevant are Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Design & Technology, Engineering. If you are unsure whether you would be considered with your qualifications/predictions, we would encourage you to contact us before making an application.

In all cases we only offer places to applicants if we are convinced that they have the academic potential and the high level of motivation that is needed to be successful on the Integrated Foundation Year and on their chosen degree programme. To help us make our decision, applicants may be asked to attend an Academic Assessment.

GCSE
We require Grade B/6 in GCSE/iGCSE Mathematics (if not studied at A-level) and B/6 from one of Physics, Chemistry or Combined Science (if not studied at A-level)
We require at least Grade C/4 in GCSE/iGCSE English Language. GCSE/iGCSE English Literature will not be accepted in lieu of GCSE/iGCSE English Language.

International Baccalaureate
33 points overall with 6,5,5 in Higher Level subjects, including Mathematics (either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) or Physics.

If Mathematics is not studied at Higher Level, then we would require Standard Level Mathematics (either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) with Grade 6 or higher.

IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no less than 5.5 , TOEFL iBT - 80
