Course Overview

Our BSc Mathematics with a foundation year allows students who do not have the necessary qualifications to enter the degree at year one. You will be allowed to develop an understanding essential to completing the degree.

The full BSc degree covers a broad base of classical and modern mathematics. It allows you to focus on one aspect of the subject or cover a breadth of material.

General Eligibility

Applicants who took Mathematics at A-Level should have CDD.

Applicants who did not study Mathematics at AS or A-Level should have BBC and a B grade for GCSE Mathematics.

Welsh Baccalaureate: Requirements are for A levels where you can substitute the same non-subject specific grade for the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Level Core Grade.

Applicants with a BTEC or 'Access to Science' background are welcome.

Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applicants with GCSE qualifications alone.

Access to HE (Science): 27 Merits to include Mathematics.

IB: 24 (including 4 in Maths Higher Level).

Part Time Work Details

Twenty hours of work permit weekly for international students.
