Mathematics is the universal language of science, and a beautiful subject in itself. It is a discipline which also has important applications in industry and commerce, and well-qualified mathematicians and statisticians are in great demand, with a wide choice of careers, making Mathematics an excellent choice as a degree subject. Mathematical Studies at Queen's encompasses three subject areas: Applied Mathematics; Pure Mathematics; Statistics and Operational Research (SOR) In each, the ideas that have been encountered at school are extended and new areas are introduced. It is important to appreciate that what may be understood as either Pure or Applied Mathematics from school experience will differ from the University experience. For this reason, amongst others, Mathematics students usually study both Pure and Applied Mathematics in the first year, with Statistics being a likely third component. Queen's offers several different degree programmes involving Mathematics, and there are two types of degree available within these programmes - the three-year BSc and the four-year MSci.
A Level: {'start': ['A', 'A', 'B', None], 'end': ['A*', 'B', 'B', None]} | Mathematics at grade A/A* and Physics at grade B. A-level General Studies and Critical Thinking are normally excluded from offers. However, the grade achieved may be taken into account when results are published in August and may be used in a tie-break situation. | Access to HE Diploma: 30 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma: 15 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma | Access to HE Diploma must contain sufficient relevant modules in Mathematics and Physics. Contact the Admissions and Access Service (admissions@qub.ac.uk) for advice. Successful completion of the Access to HE Diploma with a minimum of 60 credits is required, including 45 credits at Level 3 and 15 at Level 2. | Scottish Advanced Higher: AAB | Mathematics at grade A and Physics at grade B. Offers are normally made on the basis of a combination of Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 34 UCAS points | Successful completion of IB Diploma Programme with 34 points overall including 6,6,5 at Higher Level including 6 in Mathematics and 5 in Physics. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017): H2H3H3H3H3H3 | Mathematics at grade H2 and Physics at grade H3.
