Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
- Candidates offering A-levels as entry requirements should achieve passes in three A2 full A-level subjects. The minimum offer will normally be A*A*A overall, to include:
- A* in Mathematics, with a grade A in all Mathematics modules (AS and A2 level). Mechanics 1 (M1) is essential; M2 is desirable
- A*/A in Physics
- Candidates must have a good pass in GCSE English Language or the equivalent, and study of a foreign language is desirable.
- In addition to pure mathematics, some knowledge of applied mathematics, particularly mechanics, is required. Module M1 is essential and M2 is desirable. Candidates will normally be required to obtain grade A in all their mathematics modules at the first attempt.
- Although Further Mathematics is not a course requirement, it is an advantage and is encouraged.
- Applicants are encouraged to offer two AS-levels in place of a third A-level subject. Subjects in the arts or social sciences would be appropriate.
- For the Year Abroad course in continental Europe, a GCSE pass at grade A or B in the appropriate language is the minimum requirement. An A-level in the relevant language would be an asset.
- For students studying the International Baccalaureate, we require an overall score of 39 points, including 7 in Mathematics and 6 in Physics at higher level.
English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
