What universities allow me to do electrical engineering with a BTEC extended diploma

Hey there i was wondering if there are any universities that allow BTEC Engineering (predicted D*D*D*) so I can do electrical and electronics engineering. O have put a list together to better my decision for my UCAS statement, here it is:

Imperial College - 5th ranked in EEE and 7th overall according to the guardian league table
UCL - 7th ranked in EEE according to the guardian league table
West London - Not ranked for the subject but is in 57th place of the Guardian league table

Thank you for reading and I hope you can help me in my decision for university!

The entry requirements for each university will show whether a university is accepting a BTEC. Generally most will do but dont know about Imperial or UCL. One issue you might need to check is that some universities may require A level Maths in addition to the BTEC. Again this will be shown on the entry requirements.
It seems UCL do. Other than below ring the Admissions tutor for more advice. He will be able to tell you. I would ring Imperial. I couldnt find anything but from memory think they are one of very few universities who dont accept BTECs.

BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (QCF) D*, D*, D* to include Distinction in Maths for Technicians and Distinction in Further Maths for Technicians or BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF - teaching from 2016) with D*, D*, D* to include Distinction in Engineering Principles and Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. Modules relevant to Electronic and Electrical Engineering are preferred.

Those modules are modules that I've completed before September to get ahead of school and focus on my final project, could you explain a little more in your first paragraph? i didn't quite understand it.

As far as I know there are a couple of universities that do not accept BTECS. I think Imperial is one of them. The only was to find out is to ring the university. The admissions tutor at Imperial would be the best person to know.

no one can't that's plagiarism, and you'll fail. But if you worried about your project don't be.

Hi @SA_2019

Here at Hull we offer BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering and accept BTEC's to fulfil our entry requirements.
We require DMM from BTEC (120 UCAS Points).

Six reasons to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Hull:
Our electrical and electronic engineering courses were the first in the UK to be accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology
Great job prospects due to UK skills shortfall
Benefit from our new robotics and 3D printing labs
Direct pathway to Chartered Engineer status
Course designed in collaboration with industry
Study under experts in the latest technology


More details about our course can be found here - https://www.hull.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/electrical-and-electronic-engineering-beng-meng?d=2021&var=standard

when looking at university websites, it will like under entry requirements what the university accepts, but you can always contact the admissions team if in doubt
