Frequently Asked Questions
What level of degree do I need to get
a place on the course?
The normal requirement for a place on the Diploma course is
an upper second class degree (II(1)) or better in Mathematics, Statistics
or a related subject.
Other countries have different ways of grading degrees but the requirement
is simply that it should be the equivalent to the requirement for
UK students.
What if I don't have a maths or statistics
degree?
