14 Typical entry qualifications (Year 1 entry) A-levels BBC for Year 1 Entry to BEng / BSc (280 tariff points) BBB for Year 1 Entry to MEng (300 tariff points) BTEC Extended Diplomas* DMM for Year 1 Entry to BEng / BSc DDM for Year 1 Entry to MEng ACCESS to HE 30 L3 credits from science units (including mandatory science subject), including 12 L3 credits in mathematics, awarded at merit or distinction *But, students entering with BTEC qualifications struggle with mathematics!

15 Key subjects needed for admission (year 1 entry) A-Levels or equivalent Maths Physicsrelated Chemistry Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electrical/Electronic Instrumentation and Control (General) Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Chemistry or Biology or Nutrition or Applied Science or Food Technology Food Science and Engineering

16 Typical entry qualifications (Year 0 entry) Year 0 delivers the fundamental subjects from roughly GCSE level up to A-level Suitable for students who have not studied the relevant subjects at Level 3 OR achieved low grades which are not acceptable for Year 1 entry GCSE Maths must be at grade B or higher (but can be flexible if strong grades are evident in the sciences) Basically, we admit students committed to work hard and have the potential to succeed!

17 Summer University (mid June end July) normally free! can sometimes be used to fill gaps in subject knowledge before admission to a degree course Foundation Mathematics Foundation Chemistry Foundation Biology Foundation Physics (engineering)

18 Most popular acceptable entry qualifications for admission with advanced standing (direct entry to year 2 or year 3 top-up degree) HNC For direct entry to year 2 Must have good grade profile Must include mandatory subjects HND or Foundation degree For direct entry to year 2 of an accredited degree For direct entry to a one-year top-up degree Must have good grade profile Must include mandatory subjects

24 To become a Chartered Engineer An accredited university honours degree in Engineering (e.g. BEng + MSc or MEng) An individual holding an accredited MSc must also hold a CEng accredited Honours degree to have the full exemplifying qualifications for CEng Two years practical engineering training Two years professional responsibility Result: J Bloggs BEng(Hons) MSc(Eng) C.Eng, MIMechE

25 High Quality Accredited Courses All our engineering courses are accredited or, in the case of new courses, in the process of accreditation

26 Top-Up BEng Tech MSc BEng (Hons) MEng An individual holding an accredited MSc must also hold a CEng accredited Honours degree to have the full exemplifying qualifications for CEng Students without full exemplifying qualifications may be individually assessed for CEng registration e.g. for students following the BEng Tech (Hons) + MSc route

31 : over this period engineering employers will need to recruit 1.82 million workers with engineering skills: pro rata, that is an average of 182,000 people per year. Current figures show that only 108,000 people are entering engineering occupations The jobs are out there together, we need to supply the engineers to fill them! Questions?
