A,A,A,B,B
AAABB (combination of Highers and Advanced Highers) with AB at Advanced Higher level. Mathematics required at National 5, minimum grade B (or grade 2 Standard Grade or Intermediate 2 equivalent) if not offered at Higher Grade. Where a candidate has bypassed the assessment for National 5 qualifications, a minimum of grade C in the Higher is required. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting. Applicants who have, or are currently studying, Mathematics at Advanced Higher level should apply for one of our Maths degrees without a foundation year.
