Keep me informed

This is a new two-year full-time course designed in collaboration with employers, suitable for post-16 students looking to develop both knowledge and practical skills in the Engineering sector.

This T level is designed to give you the knowledge and understanding of contexts, concepts, theories and principles in regard to Engineering.

  • Entry Requirements


    5 x GCSE's grade 4-9, including English and Maths (or equivalent).

    We will invite you to a Meet the Tutor event where you will receive information, advice, and guidance about the course you have applied for. This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

    You will need to provide a copy of your last school report and/or a reference from an employer or relevant professional, which will include attendance. This is to ensure we can support you to achieve well on the course. Applicants with 85% or below attendance will not meet this criteria. All applicants are given an opportunity to discuss any evidence based mitigating circumstances that may have affected the reference/school report.

  • Course Content


    Students will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including:

    • Working within the engineering and manufacturing sectors - an understanding of how materials, conditions and context influence design processes and products.
    • Essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing - a knowledge and understanding of mathematics including standard matrices and determinants and standard trigonometry.
    • Materials and their properties - understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed, and materials testing methods and techniques.
    • Business, commercial and financial awareness - basic commercial principles including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners and resource allocation.

    In addition to the core content, each student will also complete at least one module of occupation-specific content.
