need help

does anyone know if imperials MEng course in Computing AI and machine learning requires me to do the STEP or the MAT? (it wouldnt let me post this on the STEM uni course subforum)
Hello, I do not think so, because on the A-Z courses on the Imperial website, I went onto the MAths course - which definetely needs MAT - and went to the bit where it said about the MAT (it was under Entry Requirements, then Admissions Test, then it talked about the MAT). I then went on the Computing with AI and ML, and went onto Entry Requirements, but there was no drop-down about an Admissions Test.

Furthermore, I searched 'which courses at imperial require MAT' ( https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/apply/selection/admissions-tests/ ). It states:

'The following courses use the Mathematics Admission Test (MAT) as part of the selection process:

All BSc and MSci Mathematics courses.'


Computing and AI is not a Mathematics course so does not fit either of these requirements.


TLDR: No

STEP 2 is usually an offer requirement, it’s not given to everyone though

Hey, it says this on their website RE STEP:

"
A: No, it is not required for any of the Computing or JMC courses. However, If we feel from an application that the applicant would benefit from additionalMaths training, we may ask for an Advanced Extension Award (AEA) or a STEP paper in Maths.

Afternoon!
I have just found your thread might be more suited to the Computer Science Forum. (I've linked it here too for you :wink:)
I've moved it for you, so maybe you can get some more accurate help and/or advice.

Have a nice weekend,

I am currently in year 12 and wanted to ask the same question as I intend to apply for this course. I was wondering if you do further maths?

Ok, thank you! Currently not sure what to do STEP-preparing-wise (I don't do Further Maths) as I want to apply for this course but it is not certain I will have to do STEP as part of my offer. Do you know if STEP 2 includes topics from A-level Further Maths?

hey! i actually looked at the website and step 3 is a level maths and as further maths, since i’m doing the full a level, they might give me step 3 for my offer :redface:

I suppose it would be harsh to ask you to do STEP 3 as it is a computing course, not a maths course :/

Ah ok, thank you for the help!
