Other requirements

General requirements

You will normally need a 2:1 honours degree or above, or equivalent. This degree should be in mathematics.
We also encourage applications from those with degrees in subjects where mathematics is a major component, for example physics and engineering. In these circumstances, we may look for higher marks to offset the lower number of credits earned for mathematics modules. Each application will be assessed on its own merits.
We are able to offer a level of flexibility for applicants. Those with a 2:2 honours degree will be considered on an individual basis.
