Alix Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey, I'm in tenth grade and need to choose my courses but someone told me that Math Studies SL isnt recognized in universities in the UK. Is this true or just rubbish? Such as universities like Oxford. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylusdef Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well, really it depends on what courses you'd like to study. If you want to study economics, math studies is not enough. But if you want to study law, political science, history or any other "free-from-math" course, math studies should be enough. But of course Math SL/HL is very good to have even as a future law student, too! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 In other words, yes, Math Studies is recognized in the UK, but some courses demand a higher level of math. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_italia Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I know of a person who wished to study business, but because they had done math studies they had to pass A level math before they could be accepted into a university. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uggy Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Maths Studies is considered equal to a GCSE by Cambridge and Oxford. Standard -- A little higher Higher --- A little more than A level but less than Further Maths. Don't do studies - it severely restricts you. Standard or Higher is the way to go. If your school does not offer Standard DO higher! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, my friend studies Experimental Psychology at Oxford and she took Math Studies (I should've too for an easy 7 but I enjoy reasonable challenges) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy>you Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 YES IT IS!!! This is something I did not know and which really hurt me in the end. I ended up applying for Law and turns out that I didn´t need math standard. This might hurt my grade a bit because I easily could have gotten a 7 in math studies. But all of the universities that I applied to didn´t require math at standard level so you should defo think about it...of course it depends on what course your taking but check with with your careers advisor OR better yet just call up the universities to make sure.

Is this true or just rubbish? Such as universities like Oxford.I was told Math Studies works unless you want to get into engineering.. but some Canadian universities won't even accept if for a bacelor of science. Uh oh.
