The Integrated Foundation Year in Chemical Engineering is a one-year program that enhances your mathematical and scientific knowledge and abilities, preparing you to begin studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science. You can choose from several degree paths, including: Chemical Engineering (BEng), Chemical Engineering with Energy and Environment (MEng), Chemical Engineering with Industrial Experience (MEng), Chemical Engineering with Study in Europe (MEng), or Chemical Engineering (MEng). During the Foundation Year, you'll focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, alongside modules in Academic Skills and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). A group project, supervised by a department academic and aligned with your chosen degree, is also part of the curriculum.
A-level Students are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits. Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide. Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A level. Typically, we would be looking for: Grades BBC where a student has 3 relevant subjects Grades BBB where a student has 2 relevant subjects Grades ABB where a student has 1 relevant subject The subjects considered to be relevant are Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering. If you are unsure whether you would be considered with your qualifications/predictions, we would encourage you to contact us before making an application. GCSE We require Grade B/6 in GCSE/iGCSE Mathematics (if not studied at A-level) and B/6 from one of Physics, Chemistry or Combined Science (if not studied at A-level. We require at least Grade C/4 in GCSE/iGCSE English Language. GCSE/iGCSE English Literature will not be accepted in lieu of GCSE/iGCSE English Language. International Baccalaureate 32 points overall with 5,5,5 in Higher Level subjects, including Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Applications and Interpretation’ are acceptable) or Physics. If Mathematics is not studied at Higher Level, then we would require Standard Level Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Applications and Interpretation’ are acceptable) with Grade 6 or higher. IELTS - 6.0, TOEFL iBT - 80
