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.

Please check for specific GCSE/IGCSE subject entry requirements.

We do not accept T Levels as entry onto this course. The University does accept specific T Level qualifications on a number of courses please review to our T Level information page for a full list.

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.

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 may consider applications from exceptional Access students on a case by case basis. Each application is considered individually. Applicants should contact the Admissions Office to discuss their particular circumstances.

As a guide, we typically require a QAA-recognised Access to HE Diploma (a minimum of 60 credits overall and at least 45 at Level 3) in an engineering related subject. 45 graded credits must be awarded at Level 3 at Distinction including 15 credits in Mathematics and 15 credits in Physics. We also require A Level Mathematics at Grade A*.

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.
