• Mathematics entry requirements

This list allows you to compare typical A-level offers for mathematics university courses. Some offers listed here have been simplified to appear on the table so you should always check the university's website for any technicalities.

Offers may also vary each year so check if the table is up to date. Some universities give multiple offers (e.g. depending on whether you are studying further maths). In this case, you could be given one, some or all of the available offers. Some universities accept general studies and critical thinking for these offers but most do not. There may also be additional GCSE and/or English language requirements. Some universities give the same offers to most candidates, others could vary them.

When a university asks for a maths-related subject, this often refers to a science, economics, or further maths. Check the university website for details.

Capital letters represent A-level grades, lowercase letters represent AS grades. STEP exams are graded from S (best), 1, 2, 3, U. AEA exams can score a distinction, merit or fail.

UCAS points are calculated by adding up the number of points achieved from each subject. The number of UCAS points obtained from a full A-level is A*:140, A:120, B:100, C:80, D:60, E:40. At AS, the number of points is halved. See the tariff tables for other qualifications.
