UCL Mathematics and Statistical Science: mathematics with statistics built in
UCL's Mathematics and Statistical Science BSc pairs mathematical depth with statistics and asks for A*A*A with Further Mathematics, or A*AA together with a 2 in a STEP paper or an AEA distinction. No prior statistics is expected, and the course is accredited by the Royal Statistical Society. The decision is between this, UCL's pure Mathematics degree and its Statistics degree.

What UCL asks for in Mathematics and Statistical Science
Taken from UCL's Mathematics and Statistical Science BSc course page (a saved copy that UCL labels as possibly not showing recent changes) and read on 31 October 2026. For a normal 2028-entry application, made in 2027, every requirement below is last verified for the previous cycle and may change; UCL's 2028-entry requirements and dates are awaiting publication.
A*A*A with Further Mathematics, or A*AA plus STEP or AEA
A*A*A with A*A* in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, or A*AA with A*A in those subjects plus a 2 in any STEP paper or a Distinction in the Mathematics AEA.
IB 40, or 39 with a STEP or AEA result
40 points overall with 20 in three higher level subjects including 7 in Mathematics, or 39 overall with 19 plus a 2 in a STEP paper or an AEA distinction.
A STEP or AEA route to the lower grades
UCL accepts A*AA, or IB 39, together with a 2 in any STEP paper or a Distinction in the Mathematics AEA.
No previous statistics needed
UCL says no previous knowledge of statistics is required.

Read on 31 October 2026 on UCL's Mathematics and Statistical Science BSc course page (a saved copy that UCL labels as possibly not showing recent changes), which describes 2027 entry. UCL's department pages, the fees pages, the contextual-offer details and the 2028-entry values were not read, and the page lists no admissions test or interview so none is stated and are not stated.
The course
Both disciplines, with the links between them
UCL describes a three-year course for students interested in the applications of statistics who also want to develop their mathematical knowledge and explore the interactions between the two subjects. It is accredited by the Royal Statistical Society for students who first enrol between September 2023 and September 2028.
Is it the right degree?
Between Mathematics and Statistics
UCL teaches three neighbouring mathematical degrees.
Choose Mathematics and Statistical Science if
you want deep mathematics and statistics in one degree, and have Further Mathematics.
Choose UCL Mathematics if
you want pure and applied mathematics alone. Avandy's UCL Mathematics guide covers it.
Choose UCL Statistics if
you want statistical science to lead. Avandy's UCL Statistics guide covers it.
Entry rules
Further Mathematics, or STEP or the AEA
A-level applicants need A*A*A with A*A* in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, or A*AA with A*A in those subjects together with a 2 in any STEP paper or a Distinction in the Mathematics AEA. IB applicants need 40 points overall with 20 in three higher level subjects including a 7 in Mathematics, or 39 overall with 19 together with a 2 in a STEP paper or an AEA distinction. UCL's page lists no admissions test or interview. This page states no scores.
A decision framework
Three questions before you commit
This is Avandy's own framework, not UCL's.
Do you take Further Mathematics?
A*A* in Mathematics and Further Mathematics is the standard route.
Would a STEP paper or the AEA help you?
Either can support an A*AA offer.
Do you want statistics to be half the degree?
That is the balance of this course.
Planning for 2028 entry
Planning for 2028 entry: what carries over and what is awaiting publication
Applying for 2028 entry means applying in 2027, under rules UCL has not yet published for that cycle. Each item below carries one of two labels. Last verified for 2027 entry means UCL published it for the previous cycle and it may change. Awaiting publication for 2028 entry means UCL has not yet published it.
Grades, the subject requirements and the preferred-subject guidance: last verified for 2027 entry
These are the best guide to what to prepare. UCL has not confirmed them for 2028 entry.
The UCAS deadline and the 2028-entry requirements: awaiting publication for 2028 entry

What to do now
Confirm the required subjects, read the course structure and plan your preparation around it.
Support
Independent support with course choice and preparation
Avandy provides independent academic and admissions support. It is not affiliated with University College London or any of its colleges or departments. Preparation sits within the Avandy Trinity Advisory Model: a Strategic Admissions Consultant, a PhD-level Academic Mentor and a Subject-specific Tutor, working to the actual requirements of each course. Support here means course-fit advice, subject mentoring and ethical preparation; Avandy gives no scores or probabilities and does not write applications. No outcome is promised.
Questions
Questions applicants ask
What does UCL Mathematics and Statistical Science BSc require?
A*A*A with A*A* in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, or A*AA with A*A in those subjects plus a 2 in any STEP paper or a Distinction in the Mathematics AEA, in UCL's wording for 2027 entry.
What is the IB requirement?
40 points overall with 20 in three higher level subjects including 7 in Mathematics, or 39 with 19 together with a 2 in any STEP paper or a distinction in the Mathematics AEA.
