We welcome applications from students offering an Extended Project and value the skills of research and independent learning that it is designed to develop. If you offer an Extended Project, it will be taken into account as part of your application profile, but we will not usually include it in offer conditions for this degree programme.
A,B,B
ABB in any subjects excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking. GCSE grade B or 6 in Mathematics and either Physics, Chemistry or Dual Award Science required. If you already have, or are currently studying A level Maths, you should apply for one of our degrees without a foundation year.
This course accepts the Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction T Level on a case by case basis.
