mechanical engineering at imperial college

Hi, I study maths, physics and chemistry for A-Levels and I am interested in applying to imperial college for mechanical engineering. I was wondering how likely it is that I would receive an offer despite not having further maths as a subject?

Thank you.
Does your school offer Further Maths?

All state schools in England can.

Hi @romaanmajid

Your subject choices, Maths, Physics, and Chemistry are solid for applying to Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College, as these subjects are essential for the course. While Further Maths can be an advantage, it’s not usually a strict requirement. Imperial’s admissions team knows that not all schools offer Further Maths, and many successful applicants are admitted without it.
If you have strong grades, especially in Maths and Physics, and can demonstrate a passion for engineering through projects, work experience, or additional studies, you’ll still be a competitive candidate. Consider highlighting any advanced maths skills or independent learning you've done to show your readiness for the course.
