Oxbridge to Accept Engineering Diploma
November 24, 2008 by hikaru2000
- The universities of Cambridge and Oxford will accept the advanced diploma in engineering for entry to its undergraduate engineering courses.
- Diploma students could apply next year to start courses at the universities in 2010 but the numbers are expected to be very small.
- Students studying the diploma will need to include physics A-level and the A-level equivalent Level 3 certificate in mathematics for engineering as part of the additional specialist learning section.
- They will also be expected to demonstrate the same level of academic aptitude and potential as other candidates and undertake the extended project and principal learning elements of the diploma.
- University engineering departments have helped draw up the content of the new diploma to make sure it is robust enough to prepare students for degrees.
