Can I get into Lancaster University to do Engineering if I don't meet their grades

JohnSmith1947529

I have received an offer from Lancaster to study Engineering, with the grade requirements being ABB (including Maths). However, I am only predicted ABBC, with the C being in Maths (as well as a pass in grade 8 flute and grade 8 music theory). How likely is it that I would get in with these grades?

Edit: My other subjects are Product Design (A), Physics (B), Music (B).

im not sure about how strict Lancaster is but a c in maths, which is fundamental for engineering, makes it seem quite unlikely

Yea I think the maths is likely to be your biggest issue.

Ultimately only Lancaster can say but I think it might be an issue.

An engineering degree is pretty much applied mathematics, your first few weeks are going to include learning further maths content and a whole bunch of applied mathematics in other modules. It’s not ideal to start an engineering degree with a weak mathematical foundation imo.

Maths will likely be an issue, so thats up to the uni to decide. But on results in 2019 I received ABC as my grades and still got into the university on my course despite the entry requirements for my course being ABB, so it is possible.
