Entry requirements
48 UCAS points. We accept a full range of qualifications that carry UCAS points, including A-levels and BTECs. Please see our guide to the UCAS Tariff for examples of how to achieve these points. For most courses, we are also able to consider non-tariffable qualifications. Any subjects are acceptable at Level 3. You should also have five GCSEs at grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 (or equivalent), including English and Mathematics. Entry to this course is also available to applicants with extensive, appropriate work experience in the engineering sector, who may not possess academic qualifications. We would normally expect a Level 3 qualification in maths, engineering or science. However, we will consider non-standard applications. Applicants without maths, engineering or science may be required to undertake a numeracy assessment as part of the application and admission process. You may be required to attend an interview and/or provide a portfolio of work. If English isn’t your first language, you’ll also need IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in reading and writing (or equivalent). We also accept a range of other English language qualifications – please visit our English Language Requirements web page for more details. If you intend to progress to a top-up degree course at a university after completing this HND, you will usually need GCSE Mathematics and English at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent). If you have not already achieved this, please speak to the course leader about taking GCSE Mathematics and/or English while completing this course. If you apply or enrol on this course, Bolton College and the University of Greater Manchester will share the information you provide. You’ll also receive communications from both organisations.
