Science/Economics/Computing Courses

Top universities need to distinguish between a surplus of applicants, all of whom have excellent predicted grades and therefore needed to be differentiated based on their Personal Statement and perhaps an Entrance Examination or Interview. You should coordinate with the Department most closely related to your field of study to get advice on how to prepare for a university application for that subject. The aim of this page is to give you an insight into how Maths is used in your chosen field of study, as well as share some resources which will allow you to explore that further. These might be useful in your statement or interview and give you experience that help you to perform well on maths-related questions in an interview or entrance examination.

Maths related questions are very common in interviews for Computer Science, Economics, Physics and Engineering and entrance examinations for these subjects have a significant amount of mathematical content. They are less frequent, but still possible in a context related to the field of study, in Chemistry, Biology and Medicine interviews.
