Have you heard anything similar to taking a CS degree in a year? I've only ever heard it mentioned once. I think CS would be very useful! I don't think I'll ever be good enough to want to spend a career in academia so might as well prepare for the corporate world.(Original post by laughylolly)
You would think it would be pretty useful too.
I thought about applying for Maths + CS or Maths + Stats but decided that I would just apply to maths and then (when I could) take modules in the respective areas.![]()

Nope... not really. Maybe a part time thing then once you've got into the world of work? If you can afford it of course. I might go on to further study after doing maths. I've kinda always wanted to be a meteorologist but there are only like two uni's in the Uk that offer a course in it and job prospects aren't that great. I've considered doing a postgrad in something related to that after maths. Either that or become an actuary. Or maybe something completely different. I like how studying maths keeps you open to many opportunities (well I hope it does!)Ah well, still 4 years to decide!

A Cambridge lecturer said back in the Maths Masterclass in June it's possible to do an intense CS degree in a year, if know all the maths, i.e have a strong maths degree. I'm still not sure whether this is true though. Would be really cool if it was, and I am hoping it is. ;Ddidn't you apply for Maths only though?

Heard from Bath but not Durham yet. As far as I know only internationals have heard from Durham for maths.
I might be sitting STEP. Not 100% sure yet.
I see you are new to the thread? Welcome! Here's the Mathematics Applicants 2012 stalking page - feel free to add yourself.
There's also a link to an offers page on the linked page =)I have added myself to the page
What's making you think about sitting STEP? Do you have any offers requiring it? I can't see any downside to sitting it really -

I'm just waiting on St Andrews and Durham now but apparently both of them take ages to give out offers/rejections. Ah well. -

I see you have two offers, well done and good luck

I had a Advanced Higher Stats NAB today (in the Scottish system you have to take a NAB which is a C-level (mostly) test you have to pass for each unit for you to sit the final exam) and there was this question asking about which sampling method the school should use or something. I'm so not used to writing in maths so I just rambled on for about a page even though it was only worth like 2 or 3 marks :L
I don't think I've ever written anything witty in exams though, always too scared to haha. -
