After careful consideration, City will accept both the Mathematics: Analysis and approaches route and the Mathematics: Applications and interpretation route as equivalent to A-Level Mathematics for all of our undergraduate courses.

Current IB requirements will be clearly stated on the individual course pages, but please contact us if you have any questions.
