Newcastle University

AAA including Mathematics and one of Physics, Chemistry or Further Mathematics, but excluding General Studies.

Alternatively, AAB including Mathematics and two of Physics, Chemistry or Further Mathematics, but excluding General Studies.

GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B) required if not offered at A or AS level.

AAA at Advanced Higher including Mathematics and one of Physics, Chemistry or another Mathematics.

Alternatively, AAB at Advanced Higher including a Mathematics and two of Physics, Chemistry or another Mathematics.

Higher Physics or Chemistry required at grade B if not offered at Advanced Higher. Two Highers at the required grade (in different subjects to those offered at Advanced Higher) may replace a third Advanced Higher.

37 points with Mathematics and preferably Physics at Higher Level grade 5 or above. Physics required at Standard Level grade 6 or above if not offered at Higher Level.

Candidates will normally be considered for Foundation Year only. All applications will be considered on an individual basis.

Please see BEng entrance requirements. Accrediting body requirements will sometimes mean that students may only be considered for entry to BEng.

Overall Distinction grades including Distinctions in mathematics and science units. Units must include both Analytical Methods and Further Analytical Methods or equivalent. Students studying the HND outside of the UK, and who have studied subjects corresponding in syllabus and level to Stage 1 of the degree and with Distinction in Mathematics and other engineering subjects, may be considered for Stage 2 entry.

Candidates will be considered for Foundation Year entry. Please see Engineering with Foundation Year for specific entrance requirements.

D3,D3,D3 in Principal Subjects including Mathematics, and one of Physics, Chemistry or Further Mathematics.

Alternatively, D3,D3,M2 in Principal Subjects including Mathematics and two of Physics, Chemistry or Further Mathematics.

GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B) required if not offered at a higher level.

If you don’t have the right mathematics and/or science qualifications for direct entry, you can take a Mechanical Engineering Foundation Year:

• Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year BEng Honours (H304)
• Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year MEng Honours (H305)

This will provide you with the knowledge you need to progress to one of our three- or four-year Mechanical Engineering degrees.

If you are an international student and you do not meet the academic and English language requirements specified above, you should consider a preparation course at INTO Newcastle University, which will help to prepare you for study on this degree course. INTO Newcastle University is based on the University campus and offers a range of courses including the International Foundation in Physical Sciences and Engineering.
