need help!!

i want to study materials engineering at uni

at university of exeter entry requirements are AAA-ABB , should i consider applying to it if i get predicted ABB , there's queen mary's who want ABB, but is it worth a uni place to apply to exeter or should i just apply through adjustment at results day next year? (AS student)

Apply normally to universities where you can realistically achieve the typical offer (or perhaps 1 or 2 with a grade or so higher).

Adjustment is only available if you already hold a Firm Offer elsewhere and your final grades exceed the offer. And not all universities or courses are available in Adjustment anyway.

so if i get predicted ABB i should just apply to queen mary's or should i apply to exeter as well ?

It is worth applying to both universities if you have ABB.

Just a (very biased) suggestion, have you considered Loughborough University?

I am currently a student there doing Materials Engineering, and it has a top engineering department, as well as very good lecturers.

omg thank you so much, i had no idea about loughborough university and now i have a couple of questions to ask..

1) how competitive is it to get into the course at loughborough ?
2) is the course interesting ?
3) did you do any work experience that you wrote in your personal statement?
4) any tips on what to include in my personal statement about materials science?

93% chance of offer...

And a list of universities offering Materials Engineering, sorted by descending entry requirementshttp://university.which.co.uk/search/course?utf8=✓&c%5Bq%5D=Materials+Engineering&c%5Bacademic_years__and__some%5D=2017&c%5Bsort_fact%5D=entry_points_max__desc&button=

1) Not nearly as competitive as the other engineering departments (such as mechanical) even though, as far as I know they are starting to raise entry requirements. As long as you have ABB, you stand a good chance!

2) Very! At the time of your entry there will be 3 different courses available, biomaterials engineering, materials engineering and automotive materials. Lecturers are engaging and we have very small lectures (I read somewhere the student staff ratio for the department is 9.1:1), and there is an open door policy, which means you can drop by a lecturer's office in case you have any question. First year focuses on getting everyone up to speed, and most experiments will be related to the testing of current materials, while in second year experiments will be more varied.

3) Yes, a 6 months internship at a structural engineering firm

4) Tricky question. Have you done any further reading on materials? If you have that can show your interest in the subject

5) Yes, but mine was waived since I was abroad at the time

damn it , i don't have any work experience only at a pharmacy , i'm going to read a book on material science to show intrest also referring to an article, but the work experience is a massive blow for me, i might do an online course on future learn to compensate not sure what else to do because it's too late.

sorry but if you don't mind me asking which firm you did your work experience at , thanks for the help btw.

Work experience is not a big deal to be honest.

It was a start-up company, but I can't really mention the name sorry!

Also, there are growing links between Materials Engineering and the pharmaceutical industry, such as the use of nanotechnology in drug delivery. Maybe try to spin your work experience that way?

so should i just show my interest in other ways e.g like the online course and books, i'll try if i can get a place this summer might be too late.

You absolutely do not need work experience.

True, especially for an undersubscribed course like Materials, although it does not hurt and can give you something to talk about at the interview.

Yes, it doesn't hurt if you have it but many applicants stress unnecessarily about not having any. These are engineering courses, not medicine, so work experience is "nice to have" but certainly isn't required and no-one will be disadvantaged for not having it.

Also, unless it's for Oxbridge (and to an extent Imperial), engineering interviews are more of an informal chat and it's unlikely an applicant would fail to get an offer if they are asked to interview. It's usually a good indication you have an offer pending, not a possible rejection.
