To include Merit in one of the following units: Further Engineering Mathematics, Further Mathematics for Construction or Calculus to Solve Engineering. Please list the units you are taking in your application. For further advice on acceptable units please email us. For information on required Guided Learning Hours please see our minimum entry requirements page. Access: 15 Level 3 credits at Merit in Mathematics and 15 credits in another science or technology subject. Baccalaureate IB: A minimum grade of 5 in Higher Level Mathematics and a pass in one of the following at Higher Level: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Design Technology, Physics, Environmental Systems and Societies. We accept the IB Career-related Programme in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications. Irish Highers: H2 in Mathematics plus a pass in one of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Physics, Technology. Welsh Baccalaureate: We accept tariff points achieved from the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications. This qualification cannot be used to satisfy any subject specific entry requirements. Cambridge Technical: You must be studying one of the following: Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Systems Design and Engineering, Engineering Automation Control and Manufacturing Processes, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Design, Automation, Systems and Control, Manufacturing To include Merit in the following unit: Applied Mathematics for Engineering. T Levels: Grade C in A-Level Mathematics, in addition to your T Level qualification. If you have or are looking to partially complete your T-Level, you are still required to have the equivalent to 2 full A-Levels as part of our minimum entry requirements. As a result, if you are applying with only the core or occupational specialism, this may be insufficient as a stand-alone qualification.
