What is T Level Engineering?

A T Level is a two-year Level 3 course taken after GCSEs. It is broadly equivalent in size to three A Levels and combines classroom study with an industry placement of at least 315 hours. Students receive an overall Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction* grade, which carries UCAS tariff points.

This page covers the following qualifications:

  • Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing
  • Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control
  • Maintenance, Installation and Repair for Engineering and Manufacturing

Qualification structure checked against the Department for Education T Level guidance.

Relevant degree areas

These are sensible areas to investigate, not a guarantee of entry. Always check the university's official page for the exact degree title.

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Manufacturing engineering
  • Engineering foundation years

How to check whether a course accepts it

  1. 1Open the official page for the exact degree, not only the university's general admissions page.
  2. 2Match the full T Level title, required overall grade, GCSE conditions and any additional A Level subject.
  3. 3If the page only says "T Levels accepted", ask admissions to confirm your qualification and occupational specialism in writing.
