Important Dates

The university offers different intake periods depending on the program and campus. Prospective students are advised to consult the university's official website or contact the admissions office to obtain the most up-to-date information regarding 2024 intake periods. While universities usually admit students in the fall (September/October) and spring (January/February) semesters, it's important to verify the precise details directly with the institution.

• For A-Levels, applicants are required to have three subjects, with Mathematics at Grade C being mandatory. 
• The second subject can be either Physics or Chemistry at Grade C, and applicants with Further Mathematics as their second subject will also be considered. 
• Candidates with a BTEC National Extended Diploma in an Engineering subject must achieve Merit in both Mathematics units. 
• Those with a combination of A-Level and BTEC National Diploma/Extended Certificate in an Engineering subject must have A Level Mathematics at Grade C if Mathematics units for the BTEC National are not included. Similarly, applicants with a combination of A-Level and BTEC National Diploma/Extended Certificate in Applied Science are also required to have A Level Mathematics at Grade C.
•  International Baccalaureate applicants need to attain 28 Points overall, with Higher Level Mathematics at 5 and Higher Level Physics or Chemistry at 5.
• Those undertaking the IELTS Academic test should work towards achieving an overall score of 6.0, ensuring that their scores in each section do not fall below 5.5.
