Admission Requirements

6.5+
85+
67+
You will typically need a strong upper second-class honours degree (65% or higher) or an international equivalent in Mathematics or a very closely related subject such as Mathematical Physics / Maths and Statistics / Statistics and Maths / Maths and Applied Maths / Applied Maths and Maths.

A joint honours degree in Mathematics, such as Maths with Economics / Finance / Physics / Statistics / Computer Science / Philosophy etc may be considered if there is sufficient theoretical mathematics content at 65% (or international equivalent).

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.

If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant qualifications. Please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing a relevant postgraduate qualification.
