Yes, there are three Mathematics tests we can consider for the following courses: (G100, G103, G111 and G114).
None of these are essential, but we do strongly recommend you take one of these as they can help you stand out from the competition. If you do well enough, you might receive a slightly lower offer too.
TMUA
Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA)
TMUA is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate you have the essential mathematical thinking and reasoning skills needed for a demanding undergraduate Mathematics or Mathematics-related course.
TMUA is 2 hours 30 minutes long. It has two papers which are taken consecutively.
MAT
University of Oxford Maths Admissions Test (MAT)
MAT is a paper-based test lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes set by the University of Oxford. It aims to test the depth of your mathematical understanding.
If you are taking MAT then we will consider the score you achieve in this test in place of the TMUA.
If you sit MAT instead of TMUA then we will contact you to ask for your MAT number.
We need this number to access your results and without it cannot make a decision on your application.
STEP
Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP)
STEP Mathematics is a well-established mathematics examination designed to test you on questions that are similar in style to undergraduate mathematics.
We make alternative offers based on STEP so if you are sitting STEP then you should mention this on your UCAS application form, either listing it in the qualifications section, mentioning it in your personal statement or asking your referee to bring it up in your reference.
Achieving a grade 1 in any STEP paper will also make you eligible to be considered for a reduced offer.
We also use consider favourably evidence of mathematical ability such as the Advanced Extension Award, Mathematics Challenges and Olympiades.
