RQF BTEC Nationals

As part of the application process BTEC applicants without A level Maths will receive an invitation to attend a meeting with an academic member of staff.

The meeting will assess applicants' mathematical capability alongside their ability to build on their potential if they start straight into a course where their current maths preparation is not as rigorous as those holding other specific Mathematics qualifications.

For many BTEC applicants, the best route into an engineering degree is via a foundation course. The meeting, along with the UCAS application, will be used to help us decide whether we feel it is in the best interest of the applicant for us to make an offer for the applied-for course or be recommended to the foundation year. Our primary objective is to ensure that our students are fully prepared for year one to maximise the likelihood of achieving their study goals with us.

For those with lower predicted grades, applications will be considered for entry onto the foundation year.

For those considered for year one entry, our typical offer is as follows:

RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma in Engineering – D*DD including Distinction in units:

Engineering Principles,

Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems and

Further Engineering Maths

RQF Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Engineering or Science and A Levels – D*D + A in A Level Maths

RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Engineering and A Levels – D + AA to include A Level Maths

RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in any subject and A Levels - D + B in A Level Mathematics and a B in on of A Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Electronics, Design & Technology, Computing, Further Mathematics, or Design Engineering

Access to HE Diploma

Access to HE Diploma 36 Level 3 credits at Distinction (to include a minimum of 15 Level 3 credits at Distinction in Mathematics) and 9 Level 3 credits at Merit.
