These were assessed by Benjamin Nicholas and Dr Matthew Thomson. Please find attached the University's response to your request. College tutors reviewed the panelâs recommendations and made their own selections of additional candidates from those without GCSEs and those with fewer A*s at GCSE, so that overall three candidates were interviewed for every place available. The majority of candidates who applied were called for interview. Shortlisting was performed in accordance with the stated admissions criteria. All applicants are expected to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test prior to shortlisting, including questions designed to assess aptitude for Computer Science.
