Can you tolerate Scottish people? If not you might want to go for Cardiff.

Are they that bad?

Edinburgh of course!!! Cardiff is a good backup option.

Yeah that's true, which one did you prefer when you visited them? (Assuming you've looked at them)

Edinburgh is great uni so I wouldn't rule it out completely just because it's usually takes 4 years to do a BSc. There's an option to do a direct entry to second year, it does tend to have higher entry requirements though.

BSc Mathematics and Statistics
Second year entry
For direct entry to second year the standard requirements must be exceeded, including the following:
- SQA Advanced Highers: AAA to include Mathematics. One further science subject is recommended.
- A Levels: A*AA in one set of exams to include Mathematics at A* and Further Mathematics at A.
- IB: 38 points with 766 at HL to include Mathematics at 7. Further Mathematics is recommended.

I was gonna upload the requirements for Mathematics and Financial Maths but I couldn't find it!
