Yes, but don't feel too smug about it. They simply want to tie in an extra year's revenue.

If all of the obvious decision-making criteria suit you (institution, subject, location, course length, cost etc) then I can''t see why you wouldn't.

ok imma apply for this then

Idgi, why would you apply for a BsC if you were eligible for a masters in the same subject?
Not everyone wants to do an extra year, especially if they don't need a masters for their career path.

The extra year incurs an extra debt and loses a year's salary. The difference may be as much as £40,000 and is unlikely to be less than £24,000. That sort of money may never be made up if the chosen career does not require the masters degree.

Ahhh right I didn't realise it was one year longer, I thought we were just taking about a 3 yr Bsc vs a 1 year Mmath. Thanks for the explanation guys :}

The clue you missed is that anyone applying for an undergraduate bachelor's degree is extremely unlikely to hold the qualifications necessary to study a one year postgraduate masters degree.

That's standard practice for all universities/courses offering an undergraduate masters route.
From a student finance point of view you should ALWAYS try for the longer course - swapping from a longer course to a shorter course doesn't cause any finance problems, going the other way can sometimes cause issues (especially if you restart your degree at a new university or have to repeat a year due to personal reasons).

So i'll get on this MMath then
Would you take it up the ass?

I didn't know if they'd give me one, see it was a toss up since my predicted were AAC if i chose to go for a MMath then it's be AAA-ABB and it's a risk
Another reason is to complete the "pattern"
I have these 5 choices
AAA
AAB
ABB
BBB
BBC

I'm not into butt stuff, i wouldn't put it up anyone's cheeks neither would i let anyone stick it up my cheeks, if they did then i'd snap it
