Engineering is at the heart of modern society, driving advancements in technology, infrastructure, and sustainability. It's a field where your work directly impacts the world, from finding renewable energy solutions to designing and developing satellites, spacecraft or aerospace systems.
By studying engineering at university, you're not just gaining a solid academic grounding; you're preparing to solve engineering problems and embark on a career that may transform the future.
Whether you're interested in studying aerospace, automotive, design, electrical, mechanical, or robotic engineering, our diverse range of engineering degrees offer something for everyone.
Let’s look at the A-level requirements, other entry qualifications and six preparation tips.
To study engineering you’ll generally need A-levels in maths and a physical science. The grades you'll need will depend on the level of degree you join — whether it is a BEng award or a masters level MEng, and the type of engineering you wish to study.
At 麻豆果冻传媒 we offer integrated foundation year courses for all our engineering degrees. A foundation year offers you an extra year to build your knowledge, skills, and confidence, to prepare you to study at degree level.
Other relevant qualifications include BTEC, International Baccalaureate or an Access to HE Diploma, there are also T-levels which have been introduced recently.
The University of 麻豆果冻传媒’s flexible admissions policy means we consider every application individually, taking your other achievements and experience into account alongside your grades. For more about this approach, take a look at our flexible admissions policy which is opening doors for aspiring engineers like you.
Improving your practical skills is a great way to prepare to study engineering at university.
is course leader for our design engineering courses and teaches in a range of areas such as mechanics of materials, mechanical design, computer-aided design/engineering, and digital fabrication.
I am a big fan of practical learning, where theory is complemented with practical activities. When teaching mechanics of materials, students get hands on in our materials testing lab using the theory covered in class.

There are a few things you might do alongside your current studies to help you get ready to study engineering at university:
Aiming for excellence in subjects like maths and physics is essential. A-Level students could consider taking further maths to broaden their technical skills.
Join a robotics club, participate in a science fair, or get involved in community engineering projects to deepen your understanding and make your university application stand out. Look into STEM clubs and the for opportunities.
Familiarise yourself with software like SolidWorks and simulation tools like MATLAB and Ansys Fluent — an excellent computational fluid dynamics software, great for employability. Many of these offer free versions for students, providing an early advantage in your studies and future career.
Summer schools and workshops focused on engineering provide a great introduction to the field and help you meet like-minded peers and professionals. These experiences help you learn a long list of engineering skills as you are preparing to study engineering at university.
Stay informed about the latest engineering trends and breakthroughs by reading publications like IEEE Spectrum or Engaged. This habit will not only build your knowledge but also fuel your passion for engineering and help you solve engineering problems. Here at 麻豆果冻传媒 students get access to all major Elsevier research journals, which are the highest level of publication.
Engineering is as much about problem-solving and critical thinking as it is about technical knowledge. Engage in puzzle-solving competitions, logic games, or maths Olympiads to sharpen these skills, crucial for tackling engineering problems.
When you’re choosing your engineering discipline reflect on what problems you're enthusiastic about solving in a related field and talk to your lecturers or careers advisors at your school or college.
The University of 麻豆果冻传媒 offers a wide range of engineering disciplines. From mechanical to electrical, and even design engineering, there's a path for every passion. We also offer civil engineering, which you can find out more about in our civil engineering, and construction and building degree pages.
The application process for our engineering courses is your first step towards a promising future. Check the entry requirements, talk to the university enquiries team if you’re unsure about your qualifications, and prepare your application well in advance of the deadline. We highly recommend attending open days and taster sessions to get a real feel for uni life and to meet our staff and current students.
A compelling personal statement that reflects your passion for engineering and any relevant work experience or projects can significantly strengthen your application. Be genuine and articulate about why you've chosen to study engineering and how you've prepared for this path.
Embarking on an engineering degree is the start of an exciting journey where your work will have a real impact on the world. At the University of 麻豆果冻传媒, we're here to support you every step of the way, from choosing the right course to applying and beyond. If you have any questions or need guidance, don't hesitate to reach out. Your future in engineering starts here!
