Information about the undergraduate course in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford: entry requirements
Entry Requirements

Qualifications you'll need
Equivalent qualifications
Mitigating circumstances
If you’re predicted A*AA, you may still be offered an interview, if our admissions tutors think you have potential to do well on the course. This is usually because of circumstances that have caused you to fall short of your full potential. This might be because of disruption due to a change of schools or teachers, bereavement or an illness.
If this is the case, you should make it clear in your UCAS personal statement and/or school reference. However, any offer will be conditional on you achieving A*AA.
Other requirements
English language requirements
If English is not your first language, you may also need to meet our English language requirements.
GCSEs
GCSEs will be taken into account when we consider your application but they are just one aspect that we look at. GCSE results will be considered alongside your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and performance in any written work or written test required for your course.
If you are shortlisted, your performance in interviews will also be taken into account.
Higher grades at GCSE can help to make your application more competitive, and successful applicants typically have a high proportion of 7,8 and 9 grades. However, we do look at GCSE grades in context.
Physics Aptitude Test
All candidates must also take the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT) as part of their application.
