IB Diploma: 42 points, with 776 at Higher Level

Other: See the University’s Entry Requirements page

Subject Requirements

You will need A levels/IB Higher Levels (or the equivalent) in:

  • Mathematics
  • Physics

If you’re studying IB, we ask for Analysis and Approaches for this course.

A Level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged. If unavailable or you’ve recognised its desirability too late, we’d advise you to do as much additional pure maths and mechanics as possible, e.g. by studying advanced material or Further Mathematics AS Level. A Level candidates without Further Mathematics have a lower success rate than candidates with Further Mathematics to at least AS Level.

We will normally require A*/7 in Mathematics or Further Mathematics, and A*/7 in Physics.

Admissions Process

Written Work

None required.
