GCSE Mathematics grade 6 required.

If you firmly accept the MSci and miss its grades but meet the BSc grades, you are accepted onto the BSc. Applicants taking the EPQ may also receive an alternative offer one grade lower plus grade B in the EPQ (applies if Birmingham is your firm choice). Applicants taking Core Maths (and not A-level Maths) may also receive an alternative offer one grade lower plus grade B in Core Maths (firm choice only).
