2. 牛津官方關於錄取參考標準的表述

牛津大學工程科學系對學生的期望表述

Enthusiasm for engineering combined with high ability in mathematics and physics is essential for those wishing to study any engineering course. These qualities will be tested at the interview and combined with an assessment of your predicted and attained examination performance (especially in mathematics and physics, and your PAT score) to decide who will be offered places.

這段話可以理解為：

第一，學生本身對工程科學有很濃厚的興趣，平時就對工程相關領域有著強烈的好奇心。

第二，要有很深厚的數學、物理基礎，這是學好工程學的前提。

第三，也是最最最重要的，PAT考試成績，在相當大的程度上決定了學生是否會被錄取。

3. 牛津大學關於計算機類專業錄取參考標準的表述

劍橋大學工程系對學生的期望表述

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.

劍橋的描述相比牛津更詳細，但要求大體類似：

第一，成績要好，僅僅只學A Level那點知識是遠遠不夠的，學生要廣泛涉獵超出A Level大綱範圍的知識。

第二，要有閱讀量，大量閱讀比較前沿、比較新的工程學科相關的內容。

第三，有很強的自我驅動力和責任感，這可以通過參與各種工程相關的課外活動等方式體現出來。

第四，很強的學習能力。

劍橋工程系給出的一組關鍵數據

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.

上述關鍵數據翻譯如下：

學習A Level的學生87%都是A*A*A*以上的成績。這些學生全都學習了數學，95%學習了進階數學，98%學習了物理，62%學習了化學。而同期IB學生大部分都是總分43分(HL 777)以上的成績。

所以，常規錄取要求只是作為參考，真正想要拿到工程專業錄取，參考劍橋官方給出的這組數據更有實際意義。

7. 個人陳述(文書)

作為UCAS申請的一個環節，每個學生都要提交一份個人陳述(personal statement, PS)。個人陳述能讓大學更了解學生對學科、專業的興趣。 另一方面，學生在書寫個人陳述的同時也能更能理解其學術興趣和學習動機。

通常個人陳述中應該包含以下幾個面向的內容：

• 解釋希望在大學學習相關專業的理由
• 展現對所選專業的熱情與投入
• 表達對相關專業領域的興趣點
• 展現自己如何致力於研究有興趣的學科
