How to apply
International applicants
The University of Bristol welcomes applications from international students and accepts a wide range of qualifications for postgraduate study. If you study or have studied at a university outside the UK, please select the relevant page for further information on qualifications, scholarships and education representatives in your country/region: bristol.ac.uk/international/countries.
Entry requirements
You will typically need a strong lower second-class honours degree (55% or higher) or an international equivalent in a branch of engineering relevant to your chosen pathway. We welcome applicants from a wide range of disciplines, provided there is evidence of relevant knowledge aligned to the chosen pathway. Please refer to the list below for well-recognised examples of suitable degree subjects for each pathway. Other degrees that have relevant knowledge and/or include elements of management are encouraged to apply and will be considered. - Infrastructure Systems pathway: Civil Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Engineering, Architectural Engineering. - Intelligent Manufacturing pathway: Engineering Design, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering Physics. - Energy for sustainability pathway: Engineering Design, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering Physics, Energy Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, Sustainable Engineering, Nuclear Engineering. - Project Management pathway: any Engineering background. STEM subjects (such as Environmental science, Mathematics, Chemistry, or Physics) will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately, degrees in Computing, Arts or Humanities are not accepted for this programme. Applicants whose degree is not directly related to their chosen pathway but who have at least three years of relevant paid work experience or a postgraduate qualification in a related field are encouraged to apply. Applicants may be recommended for an alternative Engineering with Management pathway based on their academic background and work experience. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific subject requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional qualifications. Please include your CV when you apply, showing: - a relevant postgraduate qualification. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/international/countries/
