Entrance Requirements For: H652

A Levels

ABB including Mathematics and at least one of Physics, Chemistry or Electronics and excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element. If Physics not offered at A or AS level, a minimum of grade B or 6 Physics or Dual Award Science GCSE is required.

Scottish Qualifications

ABB at Advanced Higher including Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry. Higher Physics 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.

Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting.

International Baccalaureate

32 points with Mathematics at Higher Level grade 5 or above and at least one of Physics or Chemistry at Higher Level grade 5 or above. Physics required at Standard Level grade 5 or above if not offered at Higher Level.

Irish Leaving Certificate

Candidates will normally only be considered for foundation year entry. Applications will be considered on an individual basis.

Access Qualifications

In a relevant area of engineering or physical science. At least 30 level 3 credits at Distinction and 15 level 3 credits at Merit or higher. At least 15 level 3 credits must be in mathematics (including differential and integral calculus), and 30 credits should be in engineering and science subjects. Some applicants may also be required to pass a Newcastle University Mathematics and Statistics pre-entry course.

GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics not offered at a higher level.

Cambridge Pre-U

D3, M2, M2 in Principal Subjects including Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry. GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics is not offered at a higher level.

PARTNERS - A Levels

BCC including Mathematics and at least one of Physics, Chemistry or Electronics and excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element. If Physics not offered at A or AS level, a minimum of grade B or 6 Physics or Dual Award Science GCSE is required.

The PARTNERS Programme is Newcastle University’s supported entry route for students from schools and colleges in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Find out more about the PARTNERS Programme.

PARTNERS - Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma/OCR Cambri

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma/OCR Cambridge Technic

Overall D*DD in an engineering or science discipline, to include Distinctions in Mathematics and analytical science units. All other candidates will be considered for Foundation Year entry.

Extended Project Qualification

If you offer the Level 3 Extended Project Qualification, we will vary our offer to recognise this. Your project can be in any topic.

PARTNERS - Scot Quals

BCC at Advanced Higher including Mathematics and at least one of Physics or Chemistry. Higher Physics 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. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting.

Foundation Year

If you dont have the right mathematics and/or science qualifications for direct entry, you can take an Electrical and Electronic Engineering foundation year:

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