Engineering entry requirements
BEng
Highers
- Applications will be considered from all applicants who achieved a minimum of BBB at their first sitting (fifth year).
Applicants who achieved AAAB at their first sitting including Mathematics and Physics will immediately receive an unconditional offer.
Applicants who achieved between BBB and AABB at their first sitting may receive a conditional or unconditional offer once all applications have been reviewed, in March 2013.
Applicants who will be sitting their Highers for the first time in 2013 will receive a conditional offer based on the achievement of AAAB including Mathematics and Physics.
Additional conditional offers may be made to sixth year applicants, who were marginally below BBB at first sitting based upon an analysis of applications versus available places.
