Entry requirements

Below is a list of countries with information on each about which qualifications we accept.

  • UK

    A-level:
    AAB (including grade A in Mathematics or Further Mathematics)
    Tariff:
    136 UCAS tariff points
    International Baccalaureate:
    33 points total, including Higher Level Mathematics at grade 6
    BTEC:
    DD with an A-level grade A in Mathematics
    GCSE:
    A minimum of grade 4 (C) in English Language and Mathematics in addition to other outlined requirements.

    Contextual offers

    We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care, attend a low performing school, live in an area where few students go to university, or are the first generation of their family to enter Higher Education.

    Those who are eligible may receive a conditional offer with reduced entry requirements, typically up to two grades lower for A-levels and one grade (or eight tariff points) for BTEC or mixed qualifications.

    Mixed qualifications

    Typically the only scenario where we make conditional offers expressed as UCAS tariff points is when an applicant presents mixed qualifications, most typically a combination of A-levels and a BTEC qualification.

    In this instance, we may make a tariff point offer to present the applicant with more flexibility on equivalencies. In this case, please be aware that we may still ask for a specific score across certain qualifications and subjects. E.g. 'This offer is conditional on you achieving 128 tariff points. This must include A-level Mathematics at grade B.'

    Subject exclusions

    We do not accept General Studies and Critical Thinking. These subjects will not be included in any conditional offer we make.

    Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

    We welcome applications from students who are completing relevant EPQ Projects. Whilst we recognise the value of these projects in preparing students for independent learning at university, the EPQ is unlikely to form part of any conditional offer we make.

    The EPQ will also not lower the specifics of any conditional offer we choose to make. We will consider the EPQ as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.

    AS levels

    We recognise that there will be differences of opportunity varying by school and college. As not all students will have the opportunity to sit AS Level exams, it is unlikely we will include AS Level grades in any offer we choose to make. Where students have completed an AS Level subject, we will consider this as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.

    University preparation programmes

    If you do not qualify for direct entry, you may wish to take a foundation programme first. These programmes are designed to prepare students for entry to City's undergraduate courses.

    Access to Higher Education

    We welcome Access course applications from 'mature' students. These applicants will be considered on the basis of their own merits. Please be aware that Access students are often asked for further information to supplement their application, this is normally in the form of a questionnaire.

Teaching and assessment

The Mathematics with Data Science BSc (Hons) at City is an inspiring degree, delivered in a supportive, energised environment by experienced, knowledgeable academic staff engaged in cutting-edge research.

Our teaching and learning methods are designed to develop your knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject while stimulating your engagement and participation in the learning process.

You will be supported and encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning and develop your academic self-confidence.

To ease the transition from secondary education to undergraduate study, we provide small weekly group tutorials in the first year.

These allow students the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert answers, as well as provide intensive individual assistance for core module topics. In the final year, you will carry out your own research project chosen from a wide variety of mathematical topics.

Past research projects have included everything from the mathematical theory of information and life-saving mathematics in medical imaging, through to wallpaper patterns and determining the number of guards required in an art gallery.

Through the environment that we create for your learning, like for many of our alumni, we are sure that the confidence and knowledge you will gain at City will open doors to a rewarding and satisfying career.

Assessment methods

Assessment is based on examination and coursework. Marks are weighted in a 1:3:6 ratio for the three years of study to produce an overall aggregate.

Types of assessment

  • Set exercises or coursework, which you take home and complete with the aid of your notes
  • Formal unseen written examinations every year
  • Class or online tests
  • Group assessments, such as written reports, also form the basis of assessment for some modules.

Also, a small number of modules require students to give presentations.

Feedback on assessment

You will normally be provided with feedback within three weeks of the submission deadline or assessment date. This would normally include a provisional grade or mark. For end-of-module examinations or an equivalent significant task (e.g. an end of module project), feedback will normally be provided within four weeks.

The timescale for feedback on final-year projects or dissertations may be longer.
