There is generally no set timeline (Oxbridge often are the only ones - only because they release interview information & offers on schedules). But most unis it depends on several factors often unrelated to your specific application so the time can vary (a lot).

I think it depends on the university, I’ve heard back from some of mine but I know others who have heard nothing.

This is a thread for engineering applicants of all disciplines on the 2023-24 UCAS cycle (including, but not limited to, mechanical, electrical & electronics, civil & structural, chemical, aerospace/aeronautical, biomedical, materials, etc.)
Introduce yourself and tell us where you're applying

Application details ice-breaker questions

What discipline(s)/areas of engineering are you applying for?
What universities are you thinking of?
A level / BTEC/ IB / Higher predicted grades?
GCSE grades?

Share as much detail as you're comfortable with

I want to go into robotics and AI. I've applied to UCL, imperial, queen Mary university of London and university of Hertfordshire. I'm stuck between UCL and imperial as I don't know which one would be the better choice.
I'm predicted two A* and one A. I got 99999888777 in my GCSEs

For engineering, unquestionably Imperial. UCL is a great school but id say it’s reputation for engineering it is not one of the pedigree institutions.

I've applied to chemical engineering at imperial, ucl, Manchester, bath & Nottingham (w sandwich years at bath and nottingham). I'm predicted A*A*A*A in physics, chem, maths and further maths (A in further). My GCSE's I got 11 9's.
side note I only sent in my application to UCAS on Monday and yesterday I got invited to a virtual interview at Manchester in TWO WEEKS. has anyone else been given such little notice?

Since when did manchester do interviews for engineering? Or is it just for chem eng

no, ive applied this year 23, so I haven't got in, to be honest I don't know why I have chosen Chem Eng, it looked cool researching it, plenty of jobs compared to aero eg and really good job prospects following university, but it does look a bit difficult now I read more into it, idk we will find out

Hi, I'm applying for mech eng. I thought I would let u know that some unis allow you to switch between engineering disciplines in the first year if you feel you have mad an incorrect choice. It's worth looking into, I'm applying to London unis so I'm not sure about your specific ones.

Idk about the other types of engineering but I think they’ve had interviews for chemical for a while now, as I’ve seen other forums on here and Reddit discussing them from previous years. Are you applying to Manchester too for engineering?

Ah I see, I think I've just been a bit worried about it is all. May I ask when they send a zoom link/interview invite etc. in relation to the date of the interview?

They’ll send you a link about 48 hours before your interview, it’ll have a time on the email that you’ll have to attend it
