Industry Skills
Most projects will involve industrial collaborations, with links to real-life developments and challenges facing those industries.
Working with Industry
Unlike a degree apprenticeship, TEDI-London students will be working with multiple employers, rather than just one. This provides a wider experience and broader exposure to potential employers – it also allows you to build a portfolio of project experience and delivery, to present, reference and discuss at job interviews.
Entry Requirements
The following criteria is intended as a guide to help you gauge if TEDI-London is for you:
- If studying A Levels, IB, BTEC (or any post 16 education) you’ll be on track for approximately 112-120 UCAS points or equivalent
- GCSE Maths grade C/4 (or equivalent Level 2 qualification)
- You may be invited to an online interview
No Maths A-Level? No Problem
We are not saying maths isn’t important to study engineering – it is! However, we don’t see a Maths Level 3 qualification as essential to studying with us and becoming an incredible future engineer.

TEDI-Londoners
Our students share their experience of studying Global Design Engineering so far and why they think other future engineers will enjoy it.
After You Graduate
- BEng
- MEng
Further Study
After the 3 year BEng, you’ll have several opportunities open to you. Here are some paths you could take to pursue further study:
- Instead of completing the BEng, you could choose to progress to the TEDI-London MEng in Global Design Engineering (subject to meeting the required grades)
- Head to Arizona State University to study a MS User Experience at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering or their MEng Engineering program (being launched as an in-person programme in Autumn 2027). Students graduating from TEDI-London BEng have guaranteed entry to these ASU Master’s programmes (subject to grades and visas)
- If you want to specialise in a particular field of engineering, you can apply to study a specialised Master’s.
