How Warwick uses the TMUA for Mathematics
Warwick requires the TMUA for Computer Science and Mathematics, where it is used holistically alongside your grades (STEP is an accepted alternative for Mathematics). For Economics, MORSE and related degrees the TMUA is optional, but a strong score can earn a reduced offer. Warwick sets its score thresholds after results each year and does not publish them in advance. You can sit in either October or January.
