Actuarial Science and Mathematics

A*,A,A

Grades A*AA with an A* in Mathematics A-level. Further Maths is preferred but not essential but where taken will be included in the offer. If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year. Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.
