Resits PolicyWe 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. Which STEP paper should I take?We do not mind in which of the two STEP papers you take, and many applicants take both. There is more information about STEP here. My school does not offer Further Maths or cannot help with STEP/MAT/TMUAThe Advanced Maths Support Programme (AMSP) can help. It ensures that all students who could benefit from studying Further Mathematics or taking STEP/MAT/TMUA have the opportunity to do so; it provides support of various kinds for both teachers and pupils. Check the regional page on the AMSP website for support in your area. Will I be interviewed?No. We do not conduct interviews. General Entrance RequirementAll candidates must also satisfy the University's General Entrance requirement. This means some breadth in your studies - at least five different subjects to GCSE or A-level, and English to GCSE grade C or above. See the University pages for more guidance.Taking a Gap YearWe are well disposed towards applicants who wish to take a year out between school and university. Our experience is that students often benefit from the social maturity and broader perspectives a gap year can bring. |
