QUALIFICATION TYPE
A level : A*AA
A*AA in three A levels including A* in Mathematics. If you are studying Further Mathematics as one of your A level subjects, our typical offer is instead: A*AB in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and B in Further Mathematics. Most of our students will join us with three A levels, but you may have study beyond this (such as a project qualification or additional study in maths) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offer
