Entry requirements

Below is a list of countries with information on each about which qualifications we accept.

  • UK

    A-level:
    ABB (including Mathematics)
    Tariff:
    128 UCAS tariff points
    International Baccalaureate:
    31 points with Higher Level Mathematics at grade 6 OR Standard Level Mathematics at grade 7 AND Higher Level Physics/Biology/Chemistry at grade 6
    GCSE:
    A minimum of grade 4 (C) in English Language and Mathematics in addition to other outlined requirements.

    In addition to our other entry requirements, City also accepts T-levels with the following grades:

    • T-Level in Design, Surveying and Construction. Must have an overall “Distinction” with at least B in the core. Must have “Distinction” in the Occupational specialism of Civil Engineering

    Contextual offers

    We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care or are the first in their family to enter Higher Education. Those who are eligible may receive a conditional offer with reduced entry requirements, typically two grades lower for A-levels and one grade (or eight tariff points) for BTEC or mixed qualifications.

    Read our contextual admissions policy for eligibility criteria and further information.

    Mixed qualifications

    Typically the only scenario where we make conditional offers expressed as UCAS tariff points is when an applicant presents mixed qualifications, most typically a combination of A-levels and a BTEC qualification.

    In this instance, we may make a tariff point offer to present the applicant with more flexibility on equivalencies. In this case, please be aware that we may still ask for a specific score across certain qualifications and subjects. E.g. 'This offer is conditional on you achieving 128 tariff points. This must include A-level Mathematics at grade B.'

    Subject exclusions

    We do not accept General Studies and Critical Thinking. These subjects will not be included in any conditional offer we make.

    Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

    We welcome applications from students who are completing relevant EPQ Projects. Whilst we recognise the value of these projects in preparing students for independent learning at university, the EPQ is unlikely to form part of any conditional offer we make.

    The EPQ will also not lower the specifics of any conditional offer we choose to make. We will consider the EPQ as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.

    AS levels

    We recognise that there will be differences of opportunity varying by school and college. As not all students will have the opportunity to sit AS Level exams, it is unlikely we will include AS Level grades in any offer we choose to make. Where students have completed an AS Level subject, we will consider this as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.

Teaching and assessment

Learning involves lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes and group design exercises.

You will learn from a combination of theoretical, experimental and computational study. We encourage critical thinking and foster curiosity through both teamwork and independent study.

Staff are research-active, at the cutting-edge of their field and up-to-date with the latest industrial developments in their subject areas.

Grades obtained in each year count towards the final degree classification, with increasing weight given to the later years.

Feedback will normally be provided within three weeks of the submission deadline or assessment date. For end-of-module examinations feedback will normally be provided within four weeks, while feedback for final year projects or dissertations, may be longer.

Assessment methods

Assessment is weighted towards coursework, and coursework assignments are submitted weekly. Coursework is usually worth between 60 and 75 per cent of the overall module, and the examination worth 25 per cent, although this varies across modules.

Percentage of the course assessed by coursework

The balance of assessment by examination, practical examination and assessment by coursework will to some extent depend on the optional modules you choose.

The approximate percentage of the course assessment, based on 2019/20 entry is as follows:

Career

Professional accreditation and industry involvement in our degree programme mean that our graduates are equipped with the skills that the profession demands.

Electrical and electronic engineers design, develop and maintain electrical control systems and component, in sectors such as:

  • communications
  • construction
  • manufacturing
  • power generation
  • transport.

Our recent graduates have joined employers such as:

  • Nuron
  • Heron Thermoelectric SA
  • IntelliCasa
  • Total Control Services Limited

  • CBG Consultants
  • Eurostar International Limited
  • Thales Group
  • Fujikura Ltd.

If you want to become a Chartered Engineer – enjoying enhanced job prospects and earning potential – an integrated MEng offers the most direct route to achieving CEng status.

Placement support

The School has its own dedicated placements team that provides on-hand placement and internship support and guidance for students throughout their studies.

Our team of placement specialists, the Professional Liaison Unit, has extensive experience in helping students to secure professional experience across a range of industries. The team also has longstanding relationships with an impressive and diverse range of companies spanning both large and small organisations.

You can undertake a summer internship at the end of each academic year or opt to spend a year on an industry placement at the end of your second or third year.

MEng students are strongly encouraged to do this and our specialist advisors within the School are in regular contact with companies to assist students in finding suitable work experience. Students are paid while on placement and are visited by their personal tutor during this time.

Placements are paid, and are a fantastic way to gain professional experience in a relevant field as part of your degree. Undertaking a placement year could also count towards the experience requirement for a professional engineering qualification.

Placements are highly encouraged at City. Students that complete a placement year benefit from gaining professional experience working on real-life projects and are also more likely to achieve higher grades, secure a graduate-level job and earn a higher salary.

Following placement, students more fully appreciate the context and relevance of their university studies and gain a greater understanding of the industry they are about to join. This valuable experience allows students to take on graduate-level responsibilities, often while working within a multidisciplinary team.

In recent years Electrical and Electronic Engineering students have been able to obtain placements at leading companies within their chosen field such as:

  • TfL
  • Nissan
  • Gamma
  • G2 Energy
  • Interserve
  • AECOM
  • Network Rail.
