Important Dates

Intake schedules at the university fluctuate according to the program and campus. For the latest information on 2024 intake periods, prospective students should check the university's official website or contact the admissions office. Although universities generally accept students in the fall (September/October) and spring (January/February) terms, it's crucial to confirm the specifics directly with the institution.

• The institution considers a diverse range of Level 3 qualifications with UCAS Tariff points. Among these, A-Levels, BTEC Nationals, and the International Baccalaureate are accepted. For A-Levels, applicants must present three subjects, with Mathematics at Grade C being obligatory. The second subject may be either Physics or Chemistry at Grade C, or Further Mathematics. 
• Regarding BTEC Nationals, candidates should hold an Extended Diploma in an Engineering subject, with both Mathematics units at Merit. Alternatively, applicants with a Diploma/Extended Certificate in Engineering must also possess A Level Mathematics at Grade C if Mathematics units for the BTEC National are not included. 
• For individuals with a Diploma/Extended Certificate in Applied Science, A Level Mathematics at Grade C is required. International Baccalaureate applicants must have a total of 30 Points overall, with Higher Level Mathematics at 5 and Higher Level Physics or Chemistry at 5.
• Candidates sitting for the IELTS Academic exam should aim to attain an overall score of 6.0, ensuring that their performance in each section stays above 5.5.
