TMUA score to target

Cambridge Engineering uses ESAT, not TMUA, from 2024 entry. Your TMUA score is a secondary signal for this course rather than the gating test.

Our predictor uses the official Cambridge / Oxford college multipliers alongside your TMUA, predicted grades, school type and contextual flag. Drag a slider, watch the percentage change in real time. No email gate.

What actually decides the offer

ESAT (Maths 1, Maths 2, Physics) + interview, no STEP. Q1 POLAR applicants have a 5pp acceptance gap vs Q3-5, larger than for Maths or Economics.

Common reasons applicants get rejected

Low ESAT performance, especially in Maths modules
No Further Maths despite school offering it
Physics weakness — first two years are heavily physics-led
PS focused only on "I want to build robots" without academic grounding
