Important Dates

Intake periods at the university differ depending on the program and campus. Future students are advised to check the university's official website or reach out to the admissions office for the most current intake dates for 2024. Although universities commonly enroll students in the fall (September/October) and spring (January/February), verifying exact details with the university is important.

• Prospective students must possess either three A-Levels, an Extended Diploma, or a blend of A-Levels and Diplomas/Certificates, which may include the International Baccalaureate. Specifically, three A-Levels are obligatory, with Mathematics and Physics at Grade C. 
• However, candidates needing in Physics can substitute it with Further Mathematics. Those with BTEC National qualifications must have an Extended Diploma in Engineering with both Mathematics units achieving Merit. 
• Alternatively, applicants may have a mix of A-Level and BTEC National qualifications in Engineering, with A-Level Mathematics at Grade C if the BTEC Mathematics units are absent. 
• Additionally, candidates holding A-Level and BTEC National qualifications in Applied Science must also attain A-Level Mathematics at Grade C. 
• For International Baccalaureate candidates, an overall score of 28 Points is necessary, with Higher Level Mathematics and Physics at Grade 5.
• The typical prerequisite for the IELTS Academic exam is a score of 6.0.
