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.

For this degree you will need a minimum score of IELTS 6.0 for Stages 0-2 Entry and 6.5 for Stage 3 Entry or equivalents.
