Admissions enquiries
If you are seeking admission to a degree programme incorporating a Preliminary or Foundation Year you should apply via UCAS. You will need to satisfy the appropriate Admissions Tutor as to your competence to pursue a degree programme. The Preliminary Year is not meant to be a route for students who have failed to achieve the required grades in their A-levels.
For information about entry requirements for your chosen programme of study, please contact the appropriate Admissions Tutor - contact information can be found on the relevant Academic School pages.
Engineering Foundation Year
The School of Engineering offers a Foundation Year programme designed to give students the necessary basic knowledge to enable them to cope with an engineering degree scheme. The Foundation Year includes aspects of mathematics, physics and information technology that are relevant to engineering.
