Can I apply for direct entry into years 2 or 3?

Applications for direct entry to year 3 will not be considered. Applications for direct entry to year 2 can only be considered if there is space available in the second year, and if the applicant clearly demonstrates that the university courses which he/she has completed cover all our 1st year course material in full and to at least the same standard; very high marks would be required.

Please note that the vast majority of applications for direct entry to the second year of a programme in the Department of Statistical Science are unsuccessful.
