For applicants with strong mathematics, intellectual curiosity and a reasonable tolerance for buildings with very thick walls.
Admission is competitive, but not mysterious. Strong academic preparation matters. So does evidence that you genuinely like engineering rather than merely enjoying the smell of a new laptop.
Mathematics required. Physics strongly preferred. Further Mathematics welcomed. Latin useful only when machinery begins making noises no modern language adequately describes.
Two hours of mathematics, mechanics and one drawing of an object whose purpose becomes apparent approximately forty minutes too late.
We are interested in how you approach unfamiliar problems. Interviewers are instructed not to say “interesting” in a way that makes applicants reconsider their entire education.
