Consider a range of factors when assessing your application for this course, including your previous academic performance (such as GCSEs), your personal statement, your predicted grades and the combination of subjects you study at A level (or equivalent).
 

Your personal statement should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements. You are more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a keen interest in topics relevant to both computer science and mathematics through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, or work experience.
 

Strong performance in Mathematics is essential, both in your entry qualifications and any previous study. If you are studying A levels we strongly prefer that you take a full A level in Further Mathematics, which forms part of our typical offer. Offers are available for applicants who have only studied Further Mathematics at AS level or have not studied it at all. Also prefer applicants who have previously studied Computer Science, however, you do not need to have done so to be suitable for this course.
 

Also recommend you consider taking an additional mathematics test such as STEP, MAT, TMUA or the GCE Advanced Extension Award. If you are studying A levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics strong performance in one of these tests may qualify you for a reduced alternative offer. In most cases an additional maths test is entirely optional, but it remains compulsory alongside some qualifications including students who study A level Mathematics without Further Mathematics.Publish guidance on how we use these different mathematics tests.
