Does University reputation matter for Mechanical Engineering?

For most engineering graduate roles you just need a 2.1 in an accredited mechanical degree. Their are some that specify A-level requirements but not many.

Their are some areas like technical consulting, patent Willttorney where university reputation is important but these are smaller niche areas. You may get less companies pitch up to the careers fairs but this doesn’t stop you applying to the companies. The important thing is getting some internship experience done whilst at uni.

The concern id have is the D in maths, do you feel confident enough to do a predominantly analytical degree.

Will applying for internships be hard since I have CCD?

And personally I feel confident in doing an analytical degree despite getting a D, I feel like it's just been a messy year. I did get an A* in Maths in GCSE however I do realise the degree isn't exactly going to be at a GCSE Level but I think I will be able to cope.

It won’t help,
but most internships just want someone on track for a 2.1 as the main academic requirement though.

Do you think its worth taking a year out and doing the exams in autumn and bumping my physics and maths grade to like a B for example? Probably won't resit Computer Science since I don't have much time as they start in October.

I found out I got CCD (C in Physics, C in Computer Science, D in Maths) in my A Levels and I'm disappointed in not securing a place at Manchester University. However I got a offer through clearing for MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) and I need to know how much the university you go to matters for the engineering industry. MMU is still accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Institution of Engineering and Technology. Would I still be fine in finding a good job in the future if I worked hard and got a first or even a 2:1?
I'm torn apart on whether I should resit my A levels in Autumn or just go to MMU. I feel like there isn't much time to revise considering I've not touched a pen in 3 months and there's only 1 month left since the exams start in October and on top of that I would have to teach myself new contents for my a levels as my teachers skipped over content. Please let me know I feel very lost. Will employers still want me if I have CCD and went MMU?

hello am sort of the in the same situation as you, could you please tell me your experience and what you ended up choosing. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
