A minimum of honours degree at 2:1 or non-UK equivalent in a relevant subject. Degree must contain a minimum of both 3 mathematics modules and 3 physics or engineering modules at 50% or above. Relevant degrees can include Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Physics.


Modules that we hope to see in an undergraduate degree would include materials, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, dynamics and structures, whereas unsuitable degrees for entry would have substantial focus on manufacturing.


Work experience in conjunction with a relevant lower Second Class Honours Degree will be considered.


We welcome applications from international students and accept qualifications from around the world. Please refer to the entry requirements for your country for more details.
