Mechanical Engineering

A*A*A in Mathematics, Physics and one other subject.

We are willing to consider applicants without Physics if they have studied Further Mathematics; applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A relevant science and technology subject is preferred as the third subject, but not essential. Relevant subjects include, but are not limited to: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Design Technology, Economics, Engineering, Further Mathematics, IT, Statistics.

If you are studying 4 or more A- levels, we will make an offer on the subjects that are best suited to the course. Due to the popularity of this course, we may give preference to those with grades above our minimum entry requirements.

As practical skills are a crucial part of science education, you are required to pass the practical element of any Science A-Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this will likely be made explicit in the offers received.

If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year.

We consider the National Extended Diploma for entry provided it is in Engineering. We require grades D*DD plus A-level Mathematics at grade A*

Given that it is not possible to meet our published offer conditions within an Access course, we would not recommend an Access course as the best way of preparing for our courses. However, we would look very carefully at any applications from exceptional Access students who were on track to gain the AAA equivalent (45 credits at level 3 awarded at distinction). We would treat any such exceptional students on a case-by-case basis, looking very carefully at past academic history and the academic reference. A decision would be made about entry holistically on the basis of all information (including details of the course undertaken) and would usually be conditional on the above standard.

AAA in three Scottish Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We will accept two Scottish Highers at grade AA in place of the third subject.

Where English Language and Mathematics are not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher, they must have been achieved at SCQF Level 5 (minimum National 5 Grade C/Intermediate 2 Grade C/Standard Grade Credit level Grade 3).

AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.

38 points overall with 7,7,6 at Higher Level, including Mathematics and Physics.

We accept Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation.

The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma/Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate, and consider this alongside two A-Levels or equivalent.

A in the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate plus A*A* in both A-levels Mathematics and Physics.

The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunity it provides applicants to develop independent study and research skills.

Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your application.

D2, D2, D3 with D2 in both Mathematics and Physics.

We also consider applicants offering a mix of Pre-U Principal Subjects and A-Level subjects, provided a minimum of three distinct subjects overall are taken.

The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunity it provides applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, please note a GPR qualification will not form part of your offer conditions.

Applicants must demonstrate a broad general education. Typically, this is a minimum of five GCSEs/IGCSEs at grade A*/8 to B/6, including Mathematics and a science subject. English Language is required with a minimum grade of Grade C/4. GCSE/IGCSE English Literature will not be accepted in lieu of GCSE/IGCSE English Language.
