Thank you for the video! Very informative. I'm an international student and got AAA on my A Levels (Maths, Physics, and Biology). Does it mean that there is no way I can apply to Oxford?
Hi there! Thank you for your question! Your A-Level choices are still very good for Mathematics but without studying Further Mathematics you will be applying with a significant disadvantage provided the majority of applicants do study this topic. Depending on where you are in life you might wish to self-study the A-Level like I did and add it to your qualifications, but if this is not possible, I would focus on taking additional online courses or attend talks where you can get additional qualifications quickly, or read books on Mathematical Biology or Medical Physics where mathematics might be a prominent topic. As long as you are demonstrating that you are looking into Mathematics beyond your curriculum, and make it clear as to how they accompany your other A-Level choices (and possibly future career goals), you should be able to develop a strong application for Oxford to study Mathematics. :-)
Thanks, that was really helpful
Also, English is my second language, which degree I should have for that one

@@the_profs Hi, do you have any advice for self-studying Further Maths?
