Engineering Science encompasses a vast range of subjects, from microelectronics to offshore oil platforms.
Here are some general resources related to Engineering Science.
Overview 🔗 This is the Engineering Science section of the University undergraduate prospectus. The most important information about the course is here, including entry requirements, course structure, and prerequisites.
Faculty Website 🔗 This is the official Faculty webpage for prospective undergraduates, which links to various resources. The most important of them is the course handbook (which can be found at the bottom of the page), which gives a good summary of what studying Engineering Science at Oxford is like.
Alternative Prospectus 🔗 This is an unofficial prospectus put together by the Oxford Student Union; it’s written based on students’ perspectives and gives a better sense of what the day-to-day experience as an Engineering Science student is like, compared to official materials.
Oxford Engineering YouTube channel 🔗 The DEpartment of engineering Science YouTube channel hosts a wide variety of informative videos, including Applying and Interview tips 🔗 and Course Information 🔗.
'My Oxford Application and Interview Experience for Engineering' video 🔗 🌟 A great YouTube video about what attracted Engineering student Rowan to the course.
Reading Lists 🔗 🌟 These reading lists, compiled by Balliol College, are for the papers that first-years take. Don’t be intimidated by how long they are; they’re intended to be worked through over the course of a full academic year, and honestly no one reads everything anyway.
Physics Admissions Test (PAT) information 🔗 🌟 If you are applying for Engineering or related courses (Physics, Physics and Philosophy, or Materials Science) you will have to take the PAT. This webpage has information about the content of the test, how to register, and has lots of practice materials. Information from the Department of Physics can be found here 🔗.
More PAT resources 🔗 This website contains some past Physics Admissions Test (PAT) papers and solutions. More example questions are available on the Physics and Maths Tutor website 🔗.
InsideUni Engineering Science interview experiences 🔗 🌟 Current students talk about their interview experience, as well as sharing some tips. We’re biased, but we think they’re useful!
