A-level subject combinations

• Mathematics at A-level or equivalent is required. Further Mathematics is highly desirable.
• The programme requires excellent quantitative skills. So, quantitatively oriented A-level courses such as Physics or Chemistry provide excellent preparation, although these subjects are not mandatory.
• Good marks in any quantitative courses at GCSE level are also desirable.
