Warwick's insanely low Maths offer for Scottish students

If I was scottish I'd rather stay in Scotland for free uni.

Has anyone noticed that the entrance requirement for people doing Scottish exams is really low for people wanting to study Maths at Warwick compared to their English counterparts?

English students need A*A* (Maths and FM) A with a 2 in STEP or A* (Maths) A (Maths) A with a 1 in STEP to get in, which by any accounts is a tough thing to achieve.

However, for Scottish students, they need AABB (with an A in Maths) in their Highers, which are slightly harder than AS's and AA(including an A in Maths)in their Advanced Highers, which are slightly harder than A2's.

What does everyone think of this? Personally I'm happy as I shall hopefully benefit Not to sure that you English lot will be too chuffed though!

Funny thing is that the scottish people struggle when they get here so don't really win.

A2s? I thought Advanced Highers were on par with A-level. AFAIK, they also incorporate a larger syllabus than A level.

I hope you realise that AH Maths > A level Maths. Also AH Physics helps to cover a lot of the Mechanics involved in FM.

Also, I know a guy who went to my school who went to Warwick. He got a cool 86% in first year

A level maths+FM maths>AH maths though.

Ah but AH Maths + AH Physics is only just less than A level Maths, FM and Physics It certainly isn't a whole subject more.

That said, AH Maths, Physics and Applied Maths:Mechanics absolutely kicks the arse of A level Maths, FM and Physics.

Ach it doesn't really matter

scottish unis are bastards to us.....its so unfair

How? English people get discounts to go to uni in Scotland, we have to pay full whack to go to uni in England

damn right. fookin' scots getting massive subsidies from us.

Nah. COWI absolutely rape Scottish unis for Maths

That's not what I'm saying. English people get it easier because if they want to go to one of our good universities then the Scottish Government will still partially fund them, I think the student has to pay £1500 a year or something up here if you're not Scottish.

However, when a Scot wants to go to an English uni, he has to pay the full £3000 or whatever
