Entry requirements for both courses are the same and more information can be found on our offer page.

The Master of Mathematics (MMath) is a four-year undergraduate degree. In contrast, the Master of Science (MSc) is a 1-year postgraduate degree and is usually taught at a higher level than the MMath.

The MMath is intended primarily for those wishing to pursue a keen interest in Mathematics towards the frontiers of knowledge and for those expecting to use mathematics in their future careers (e.g. studying for a research degree or working in IT or the Financial Sector).

In the UK, the normal route into a mathematics Ph.D. programme is now via the MMath.

General Open Days take place in June and October and the dates are listed on the University's Open Day pages, where you can also register to attend.

Offer Holder Open Days are by invite only and take place between Feb-May. Offer Holders will receive an invite to attend an Offer Holder Open Day shortly after receiving their offer.

We like both admission tests and accept results form either of them. Ultimately, we leave this up to you and your school - we are happy to take into account good marks from any of the three papers, so feel free to choose whichever works best for you. If you're not already taking STEP as part of applying somewhere else to study mathematics, TMUA is an excellent choice.

For more information, check out our entrance exams page.

We participate in virtual open days and live chats, details of which can be found on the University's Open Days page. You can also connect with some of our current students via UniBuddy and either chat with them directly or read blog content that they've written - it's a great way to get a student perspective on life studying maths at Warwick.

Lastly, don't forget you can also download our latest course brochureLink opens in a new window or take a virtual tour of Warwick's campus.

It will depend on when in the application cycle the request is made. Maths usually fills up very quickly. You can apply in writing to ugadmission@warwick.ac.uk to request to change the course you are applying for.

Maths only set the entrance requirements for, and look after students on, straight Maths (BSc or MMath). All of our joint degrees belong to the partner department and they set their own entrance requirements. There are links to more detailed information available on our undergraduate courses page.

These tests help you develop problem solving skills needed for a Warwick Mathematics degree and, at the same time, deepen your understanding of the A-Level material. They are not as scary as you might think!

We list past papers on our entrance exams page, feel free to visit one of the links, try one and have fun.

Yes, you are welcome to visit at another time but please note that we cannot guarantee that there will be other staff or students available to talk to outside of our arranged open day sessions. If you want to visit on a weekend you may not be able to access the department building due to card access restrictions and there will not be staff available to assist.

No. We don’t do interviews for our courses.

Our transfer policy is detailed online.

You would at least need to hold our entry requirements, plus any other criteria outlined which is relevant for your individual situation. Even if you meet the requirements there is no guarantee that we will have space for you.

We will, most likely, still make you an offer.

We receive the STEP results automatically for offer holding applicants. More information about TMUA will be available in Spring 2024.

No, we don’t accept transfers into our degree from external students.

Roughly, we make offers to around 1800 people out of the roughly 2000 that apply each year.

You can enter STEP into the 'Not yet completed' subsection of the 'Qualifications' section of the UCAS form.

It is not a problem if you don't know which paper you will sit, just enter STEP. However, we receive all STEP marks automatically for all applicants who have an offer from Warwick.

When registering to take MAT you will be asked to make a list of those universities to which you want the marks to be sent. Please list Warwick as one of these.

More information about TMUA will be available in Spring 2024.

If you meet the terms of your offer you are guaranteed a place on Warwick Maths.

There is a small chance that you may still be offered a place if it is a very near miss and we have additional places to fill. In the past we have usually had a small percentage of places that we offer to students who just miss their offer - most years we aim for 80 out of 300 - but in 2023 we did not have any. If we are in a position to offer places to near misses all elements of the applications are carefully scrutinised.

Subject to availability of places, yes. We do sometimes allow students to transfer into the second year of the BSc or MMath, provided that they have done exceptionally well on the core first-year modules.

MAT is in early November, STEP is usually late June, while TMUA runs in October and January – you can pick a session that suits you.

Please consult the links in the MAT, STEP, and TMUA sections for the precise dates and details of how to register. Also speak to your school.

Applicants from outside the UK (or their schools) may also be able to get this advice from their local office of the British Council (click on 'Contact', then 'Find office' after selecting your country).

Maths does not usually have any places available through clearing.

At the end of year-one, we encourage mathematically successful students with appropriate language skills to consider spending year-three at a partner university. Study Abroad describes the range of opportunities.

It is a challenging but very worthwhile experience. Your degree title will include 'with Intercalated Year' or 'MMath with Study Abroad'.

As with the other entrance examinations, TMUA doesn’t have a grading system or a pass or fail mark. The average mark will fluctuate from year-to-year, so you should aim to do the best you can. Your final mark will be based on how many correct answers you give but you will not lose marks for incorrect answers, so it’s worth trying every question across the two papers.

We welcome applications from people who intend to take (or have taken) a gap year. Our experience is that students often benefit from the social maturity and broader perspectives a year out can bring.

When it comes to work placements - for example, taking up to year away from your studies to work in industry - these are possible but there is not an official course route that includes them.

While we do not offer any formal support for work placements, you would be able to consult with our departmental careers advisor about them.

You can choose whether to sit the test in October or January and can book your preferred slot via the Pearson VUE website – we expect the registration portal to be published in Spring 2024. There is no advantage to sitting the test in either the first or second sitting, and we only accept the results from one test in each admissions cycle.

Applications from UK students returning to study are welcome and the entry requirements for such applicants are not totally rigid. We are looking for evidence of your ability to study at the required level and so a qualification equivalent to grade A* at A level Maths is required. If you have not taken Maths and Further Maths A-Levels, we would look for good performance on, for example, equivalent Open University courses, in addition to Grade 1 in STEP.

There is an entry fee for the TMUA, which is payable when you book your test. For test taken in the UK or Republic of Ireland it is £75, and for anywhere else it is £130.

Candidates from the UK in financial need will be able to apply for a bursary voucher to book the TMUA free of charge. We expect more details about the process and eligibility criteria for the bursary to be published in Spring 2024 and will update this website as soon as it is ready.

The following degrees: Maths and Economics (GL11) and Maths and Business (G1NC) are not available in UCAS.

They are only available to Warwick Mathematics students on the G100 or G103 degrees who can transfer to either of these degrees at the beginning of their second year.

To be eligible to transfer to GL11, students need to do the modules Probability B (ST112) and Introduction to Quantitative Economics (EC106) in their first year. No specific first-year modules are required for transferring to G1NC.

Students without A-level Further Maths are likely to struggle on our degree and we do not usually make them an offer. This includes students who study Further maths only to AS level.

If your school does not offer A-level Further Maths, we recommend that you study for it independently with help from the Advanced Maths Support Programme. We make offers to applicants doing this each year. Your school should allow you to sit the exam even when they do not teach Further Maths.

We do not have any preference for particular modules in Maths or Further Maths. We are happy for you to take whichever modules you enjoy the most.

There are now only two STEP papers, STEP 2 and STEP 3.

If STEP is part of the offer you receive from us then we are happy to accept either of these two STEP papers and you may attempt whichever you like.

We try and make an offer to all A-level applicants who have at least a predicted A in Further Maths.

All our standard A-level offers will however ask for A* grades in both Maths and Further Maths.

We do make contextual offers as part of the University's Widening Participation scheme. Contextual offers usually include reduced academic conditions and are designed to help applicants with contextual data indicators, which might include things such as the school or area you come from or personal factors such as having spent time in the care system. Contextual offers apply only to home (UK) students, and maths contextual offer will still include A* Further Maths A Level.

Read more about contextual offers or, if you're a student, check if you might be eligible for one.

The Advanced Maths Centre at Warwick provides a set of targeted online resources to students and a series of live online sessions to help students prepare for STEP.

Students who have applied to study mathematics at Warwick for whom STEP forms a part of their offer of a university place should complete a form in order to be able to access these online resources or the live online sessions.

Details of how to access to the form will be sent directly to students with their offer. These preparation sessions will start around early February.

The following degrees: Maths and Economics (GL11) and Maths and Business (G1NC) are not available in UCAS and therefore you cannot apply for them directly.

They are only available to Warwick Mathematics students on the G100 or G103 degrees who can transfer to either of these degrees at the beginning of their second year if they are interested in specialising in those topics. To be eligible to transfer to GL11, students need to do the modules Probability B (ST112) and Introduction to Quantitative Economics (EC106) in their first year. No specific first-year modules are required for transferring to G1NC.

More details are available in the undergraduate course handbook.

Sometimes you have a bad day or things simply don't go as planned. We understand that completely. The simple thing to remember is that your performance on these tests - good or bad - will not define whether or not you are able to come and study at Warwick. Please don’t worry if things don’t go as well as you’d hoped for when you take the test; we ignore low marks, and you can still earn a place to study with us just through your academic grades – more details can be found on our offer page.

The admissions team will look at all available information when deciding whether to make you an offer, including your personal statement. The personal statement is an opportunity for you to tell us about yourself and, in particular, why you are interested in studying mathematics at university.

Please do not spend too long writing your personal statement. We will not spend more than a few minutes looking at it.

The University also has some general guidance on writing your personal statement.

No. We are quite used to applicants taking A-level maths in year 12 (and sometimes taking it again in year 13 if they miss an A* grade).

There is a slight advantage to finishing the A-level syllabus within one year if you are planning to take MAT or TMUA as these tests are in November.

If you who have mitigating circumstances which have affected your educational performance which were not known to, or have not already been taken into consideration by your school, you can fill out an AWARDS form to notify the admissions team.

Please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office ugadmissions at warwick dot ac dot uk as soon as possible and, preferably, no later than mid-March.

Include your UCAS ID number and the course code applied for in the subject line.

We do not object to resits within the normal two-year A-level period.

For example, you might have taken your A-level Maths at the end of year 12, and it didn't go well; in this case, we're happy for you to retake it at the end of year 13.

However, we're unlikely to make offers to students who need to take resits beyond year 13, unless there are strong mitigating circumstances. In this case, you should ask your school to explain these circumstances in their reference.

Material that is not in the A-Level core, is always covered in our courses from first principles.

A conscientious student can make up the deficit with extra effort.

We can accept applications from students who will be at least 16 years of age at the time of entry. Warwick may have accepted younger applicants in the past but we no longer accept under 16s.

For more information, please read the University's policy on younger applicants.

We will always help students to find suitable accommodation. In particular, students returning from a year abroad are given high priority for campus accommodation.
