Course details

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

  • a minimum of grades CDE in three A levels or BC in at least two A levels (or a minimum of 72 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma/Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Progression Diploma, Access to HE Diploma with 60 credits)
  • GCSE English and Mathematics at grade C/grade 4 or above (or equivalent)

If you don't have traditional qualifications or can't meet the entry requirements for this undergraduate degree, you may still be able to gain entry by completing our Mathematical Sciences (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) degree. If you feel your qualifications or experience exceed the entry requirements listed above, you could also take a look out our Mathematics BSc (Hons) and Mathematics (including foundation year) BSc Hons course offerings if you have higher qualifications.

Accelerated study

If you have relevant qualifications or credit from a similar course it may be possible to enter this course at an advanced stage rather than beginning in the first year. Please note, advanced entry is only available for September start. See our information for students applying for advanced entry.

Accreditation of Prior Learning

Any university-level qualifications or relevant experience you gain prior to starting university could count towards your course at London Met. Find out more about applying for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

English language requirements

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Student visa (previously Tier 4) you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. This course requires you to meet our standard requirements.

If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.

You're assessed through a variety of methods such as coursework, problem-solving case studies, essays, exams, group work in the form of oral presentation and written reports, an individual portfolio and a final dissertation.

Accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) for the purpose of meeting in part the educational requirement for chartered status.

You'll graduate this course with skills in mathematics, statistics, operational research and IT – all of which are highly sought after by employers in a number of sectors. Our previous graduates have gone on to roles such as analysts and financial advisors.

You'll also have the opportunity to study modules that are particularly relevant in the workplace, such as mathematical modelling, simulation and data mining.

This course is also excellent preparation for postgraduate study. Previous students have gone on to enrol on the PGCE in Secondary Mathematics Teaching course, and become secondary school teachers.

Our communications technology and mathematics graduates have gone on to work as electronics engineers, evaluation analysts and mathematics teachers at businesses such as Concurrent Technologies and Legal and General.

If you study your undergraduate degree with us, as a graduate of London Met, you'll be entitled to a 20% discount on a postgraduate course if you continue your studies with us.
* exclusions apply

Please note, in addition to the tuition fee there may be additional costs for things like equipment, materials, printing, textbooks, trips or professional body fees.
