Students with a H7 in Mathematics must have passed five other subjects with a minimum grade of O6.

Particular consideration will be paid to applicants who demonstrate a special interest in a relevant subject area or who have demonstrated their commitment by undertaking some preparatory programme work and/or examinations.
