<p>Hey there, I am considering the fact to apply to a university in London for Motor Engeneering and i wonder if there are minimum grades that you scored back in the school days that counts in the requirements to apply to a university or is it just the TOEFL and IELTS grades?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Engineering is under subscribed. You’ll make it.</p>
<p>The standard requirement for admission into English universities is 3 A-level certificates with good grades in subjects that are considered relevant to your intended course of study. If you are applying from western Europe, your school leaving exams (e.g. French Bac or German Abitur) will normally be considered equivalent to 3 British A levels for admission purposes, but you’ll still need to be above a certain cutoff grade, which varies depending on how selective the program you are applying to is. </p>
<p>If you are applying from other countries outside Europe, with a few exceptions, your secondary school diploma or certificate will ** not ** be considered sufficient for a competitive application. If you are applying from the US for example, in addition to the regular High School diploma, you will also need good grades in a certain number of relevant Advanced Placement (AP) exams. If you come from Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, etc.), an acceptable qualification is the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. For an engineering applicant in particular, minimum math and physics requirements include at least differential and integral calculus (for real-valued, single-variable functions) and mechanics with calculus. </p>
<p>If you don’t have an IB diploma, or if you have not taken AP courses, an alternative is to attend a local college or university in your home country for at least one academic year and apply as a freshman to an English university on the basis of a regular High School diploma plus one year of local university studies. That combination of qualifications is normally acceptable to many universities in England, but you may be asked to sit an additional entrance exam. </p>
<p>One more thing, if your native language is not English and you have not attended a school where English is the primary language of instruction, you will be required to provide some evidence of adequate proficiency in English. That could be either a GCSE (or O-level) pass in English, or a good score/grade on the TOEFL/IELTS.</p>
<p>Bruno123 generally gives good advice. I would suggest you be more clear about your current and predicted qualifications first though, no one can really give you proper advice until you tell us.</p>
