What the pages say about the two maths courses
Mechanical Engineering MEng. The page says the programme accepts either maths course at Higher Level. Physics: HL Physics grade 6 or 7.
Economics BSc (Econ). The page says the programme accepts either maths course at Higher Level.
Mathematics BSc. The page says the programme accepts Higher Level Analysis and Approaches only.
Computer Science BSc. Either maths course is accepted at Higher Level; Analysis and Approaches is preferred.
How to read an offer like this
The points total and the Higher Level grades are conditions that must all be met together. A student with 41 points and a 6 in HL Mathematics does not meet an offer that asks for 40 points with a 7 in HL Mathematics.
Where the page says a maths course is preferred, both are considered and the preference can count between similar applicants. Where it says only, the other course does not meet the requirement. If the school does not offer Analysis and Approaches at Higher Level, write to admissions before applying and keep the answer.
