Cambridge University is introducing “flexible” offers to students applying for Mathematics, in a bid to boost the number of female applicants.
The move, which is being trialled by eleven colleges this autumn, is designed to limit the factors potentially deterring women from applying for the course.
An offer to study Maths at Cambridge has previously been conditional on achieving at least two A*s and an A at A-levels, as well as scoring the top level in two mathematical aptitude tests called Sixth Term Examination Papers (STEP).
