DkIT Maths Entry Examination

DkIT is running an additional Maths Entry Examination to allow applicants to pass the Additional Maths Entry Requirements on the following level 8 programmes:

• BEng (Hons) in Engineering (Common Entry)
• BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering
• BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering
• BSc (Hons) in Computing in Games Development

If you have met the basic maths entry requirement for a level 8 programme at DkIT but have failed to meet the additional Maths Entry Requirements for the above programmes, we may be able to help. We are running an additional Maths Entry Examination to allow applicants to have a second chance at meeting these additional Maths Entry Requirements.
