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.
Applicants will be considered for most postgraduate courses with a good Norwegian bachelor’s degree from a recognised University. Entry requirements will vary by course for more information about specific course requirements please contact Emma Thomas.
