Direct entry to second year Statistics BSc (Hons) 2020 entry
It is possible for students applying for the single Honours BSc in Statistics to enter directly into the second year of study, meaning you will complete your degree in only three years instead of four.
This popular option is offered to students with excellent Advanced Higher, A-Level or International Baccalaureate qualifications.
Students who enter directly to second year will take modules required by the Statistics BSc programme from second year on, bypassing first-year modules entirely.
If your qualifications will be sufficient for second-year entry, you can either choose to apply for it directly or to apply for first-year entry and then upgrade on arrival. If you have a question about entry requirements or direct entry to second year, please contact Mathematics at maths-admissions@st-andrews.ac.uk.

Direct entry into second year is also possible for the following joint Honours degrees:
- Statistics and Biology (UCAS code: CG13)
- Statistics and Computer Science (UCAS code: GG34)
The course information below is for single Honours direct entry only. For more information about direct entry to joint degrees, please contact Admissions at admissions@st-andrews.ac.uk.
