2. 牛津官方关于录取参考标准的表述

牛津大学工程科学系对学生的期望表述

Enthusiasm for engineering combined with high ability in mathematics and physics is essential for those wishing to study any engineering course.

这段话可以理解为：

第一，学生本身对工程科学有很浓厚的兴趣，平时就对工程相关领域有着强烈的好奇心。

第二，要有很深厚的数学、物理基础，这是学好工程学的前提。

第三，也是最最最重要的，PAT考试成绩，在相当大的程度上决定了学生是否会被录取。

3. 牛津官方关于录取参考标准的表述

剑桥大学工程系对学生的期望表述

Colleges organise their assessment procedures in slightly different ways, but, in broad terms, all are looking for students who show:
A sound knowledge base and confidence in a range of skills. This includes not just the capacity to do well at A Levels, but the potential to go beyond the A Level syllabus and to use this knowledge in less familiar situations;
A wider engagement with the subject, expressed through an interest in new ideas and an enthusiasm for reading round the subject;
Self-discipline, self-motivation and commitment;
Capacity to learn.
For Engineering, evidence of motivation and commitment might be shown in a number of ways that could include:
Relevant hobbies and interests;
Participation in
STEMNET events and activities,
Engineering Education Scheme projects,
a Headstart course,
the Arkwright Scholarship scheme,
Smallpeice Trust courses,
Young Engineers activities,
and other similar courses or activities;
Relevant work experience placements;
Applying for deferred entry in order to participate in schemes such as the Year In Industry;
The seeking of industrial sponsorship.

剑桥的描述相比牛津更详细，但要求大体类似：

第一，成绩要好，仅仅只学A Level那点知识是远远不够的，学生要广泛涉猎超出A Level大纲范围的知识。

第二，要有阅读量，大量阅读比较前沿、比较新的工程学科相关的内容。

第三，有很强的自我驱动力和责任感，这可以通过参与各种工程相关的课外活动等方式体现出来。

第四，很强的学习能力。

剑桥工程系给出的一组关键数据

Typical Engineering entrants
(A Level and IB)
For 2017, 2018 and 2019 entry, the majority of entrants from an A Level background achieved at least grades A*A*A* (87% of entrants). All of these successful applicants took Mathematics, 95% took Further Mathematics, 98% took Physics and 62% took Chemistry. For the same period, the majority of IB entrants achieved at least 43 points overall and/or grades 777 at Higher Level.
This information is intended to give you a sense of the academic standard of our typical A Level entrants. We welcome applicants from a range of qualification backgrounds.

上述关键数据翻译如下：

上述关键数据翻译如下：学习A Level的学生87%都是A*A*A*以上的成绩。这些学生全都学习了数学，95%学习了进阶数学，98%学习了物理，62%学习了化学。而同期IB学生大部分都是总分43分(HL 777)以上的成绩。

所以，常规录取要求只是作为参考，真正想要拿到工程专业录取，参考剑桥官方给出的这组数据更有实际意义。

7. 个人陈述(文书)

作为UCAS申请的一个环节，每个学生都要提交一份个人陈述(personal statement, PS)。 个人陈述能让大学更好地了解学生对学科、专业的兴趣。 另一方面，学生在书写个人陈述的同时也能更好地理解其学术兴趣和学习动机。

通常个人陈述中应该包含以下几个方面的内容：

• 解释希望在大学学习相关专业的理由
• 展现对所选专业的热情和投入
• 表达对相关专业领域的兴趣点
• 表明自己如何致力于研究感兴趣的学科
