Application information

Entry requirements

2027 entry. SQA Highers Standard: Applicants presenting the standard grades will usually receive an unconditional offer; more may be asked for where applications exceed places. Highers in Mathematics and Physics or Engineering Science are required. For Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Higher Chemistry (or equivalent) is also required. Widening Access: Applicants who meet one or more of our widening access metrics and present with BBC, are guaranteed an unconditional offer. Foundation Apprenticeship: One FA is equivalent to a Higher at A. It cannot replace any required subjects. Note: We do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B grade at Advanced Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. National 5 in English at Grade C or above is also required. A LEVEL Standard: Three A Levels at BBB. Good performance required in Mathematics, plus at least one from Physics, Design & Technology, Engineering or Chemistry. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. Widening Access: Three A Levels at CCC, for applicants who meet one or more widening access criteria. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA DDM. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering degrees. Good performance required in Mathematics and Physics. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. IRISH LEAVING CERTIFICATE Five subjects at Higher, with four at H2 and one at H3. H2 or above in Mathematics and H3 or above in Physics required. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering H3 Chemistry is also required. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE 34 points with 6, 6, 6 at HL including Mathematics and Physics. In addition for entry to Chemical or Petroleum Engineering Chemistry is required. SL English is also required.
