Entry requirements
All of our courses require three A-levels at typically AAA, or equivalent, including Maths and either Physics, Electronics or Further Maths. For details of the specific entry requirement visit the course profile pages.
The School offers a total of approximately 160 places to suitable, well-qualified students. Your application will be treated on its merit and we would usually invite you on a UCAS visit day.
The visit day programme consists of a guided tour of the university and the school, lunch and a short informal interview with a member of staff, who will be able to give you an indication of the offer you may expect to receive. Your tour guides will be second and third year students, giving you the opportunity to find out about life as experienced by our own undergraduates. There are normally 10 visit days for each intake and these take place on Wednesdays between November and March (inclusive).
Teachers, particularly those responsible for careers guidance, are also welcome to visit. We are also happy to advise pre-university students about careers in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and to send a representative to careers evenings and careers conventions.
Mature Students
We welcome students over 21 years of age, particularly with relevant industrial experience. You will need to demonstrate a good mathematical knowledge and a high degree of motivation. If you would like advice on admissions requirements please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office.
Foundation Year
If you do not have the appropriate subject background for direct entry to first year, or you have not studied the appropriate subjects to the required depth, you might be eligible to undertake a Foundation Year programme to bring you up to the right level for first year entry.

Direct entry into the 2nd year of our undergraduate degree courses:
Each year we accept a number of students directly into the second year of our degree courses. Such applications have to be considered individually so that we can ensure that students have the required background, usually from a comparable degree course.
