Imperial Mathematics and Computer Science requires the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA) for 2027 entry. The test is run by UAT-UK and delivered through Pearson VUE test centres.
TMUA has two fixed papers: Paper 1, Applications of Mathematical Knowledge, and Paper 2, Mathematical Reasoning. October 2026 testing runs from 12–16 October 2026, and January 2027 testing runs from 4–8 January 2027.
Account creation, access-arrangement applications and bursary applications open on 1 June 2026 at 15:00 BST. October booking closes on 28 September 2026 at 18:00 UK time, while January booking closes on 21 December 2026 at 18:00 GMT. October results are released on 16 November 2026, and January results are released on 8 February 2027.
The TMUA matters because it gives Imperial another way to compare applicants taking different qualifications and school routes. Imperial and UCAS do not publish a simple GG14 score threshold in the checked sources. A strong approach is to prepare with timed, calculator-free mathematical reasoning and reviewing errors carefully rather than trying to guess a hidden cut-off.
For applicants in China, Hong Kong and Macau, UAT-UK limits TMUA to 15–16 October 2026 or 8 January 2027. International applicants should book early because test-centre availability and access-arrangement review can affect the practical timeline.
